KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 24): Veteran DAP leader Lim Kit Siang today broke his silence over yesterday's events and vowed to to continue to fight for justice and against kleptocracy, rogues and rebels in the country.

Lim, who is also Iskandar Puteri MP, also denied a social media post that suggests the new government will arrest the DAP, PKR and Amanah leaders, saying they would not run away from the country.

"We are patriots and nationalist would not run away. This is irresponsible social media reporting.

"We are in politics and we believe that we should be honourable and do good for the country and not led the country back into kleptocracy and worst still into kakistocracy," he said.

When asked what would DAP do, Lim said the party would hold its Central Executive Council meeting today, and he does not want to pre-empt it.

It is understood the DAP CEC would be held at noon.

He was met on the sidelines at Gadek assemblyman G Saminathan's Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam case where the High Court granted a discharge and acquittal.
