Guan Eng dismisses Soi Lek’s fear mongering

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said the party was not worried that its rival MCA has been attacking the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) on the Islamic state issue.

The Penang chief minister also warned MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek against making personal attacks.

“MCA will be singing the same song saying that we are being used by PAS in order to win Chinese votes, but Umno will say PAS is being exploited by DAP,” said Lim at a press conference upon his arrival here.

“In Pakatan Rakyat, we are equal partners,” he added.

Earlier today, Dr Chua warned voters that PAS victory in Labis would only strengthen the Islamist party in PR, adding DAP has been powerless to curb PAS’s rising influence nationwide.

However, Lim pointed out that MCA has been attacking the party on the Islamic state issue since Election 2008 and said that DAP is not worried.

“We are not worried if MCA continues using the Islamic state issue, because they have been using it since general election 2008,” said Lim.

“What is more important is we are fighting for freedom, justice and democracy for all,” he added.

Lim claimed that even the use of the Malay language in the party has invited criticism from its opponent.

“Some even said DAP has turned Malay because we speak the Malay language. We are Malaysians. Why can’t we speak Malay? It is the national language,” Lim said.

On MCA’s attack on PAS candidate Normala Sudirman’s refusal to shake hands with men, Lim urged Dr Chua to let the matter rest.

“It should not have been raised. Dr Chua should not have made it a personal attack. That is Normala’s choice. We could make personal attacks too if we wanted to,” said Lim.

“I hope Soi Lek understands, we don’t want him to be hurt by his own actions,” he added.
