Lim Kit Siang demonizes himself - Rahman Dahlan

Barisan Nasional Strategic Communications director, Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan has asked DAP veteran, Lim Kit Siang, to retire from politics, after he failed to topple Barisan Nasional in the general election despite making 13 attempts at it.

Here is his full statement:

1. Lim Kit Siang should retire after failing to topple Barisan Nasional at general election after 13 attempts. He should feel shameful towards his party members and make way for Tan Seng Giaw.

2. Tan Seng Giaw is known as a gentleman politician and a man with principles unlike Lim Kit Siang. Tan Seng Giaw is more popular and it's a shame that he was killed politically at the CEC party election in 2012 said to be by unfair means.

3. Anyway, we all know the fact that no dictator in the world would retire willingly and I don't expect Lim Kit Siang to be any different. They will think of all sorts of excuses to justify to their party why they should not retire despite failing 13 times.

4. Lim Kit Siang's own actions have demonised himself and therefore he should not blame others. The whole world now knows about the real story of DAP party election and how Tan Seng Giaw have become a victim despite him being the most popular, most rational and most multi-racially accepted DAP leader.
