KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 20 — DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang today said he assured PKR president Anwar Ibrahim when the two met on Friday, that the DAP leadership never proposed to change the Opposition Leader.

Kit Siang said he did however call on Anwar to unite the Opposition with a new national consensus.

“When I met the Parliamentary Opposition Leader, Anwar Ibrahim, on Friday, I assured him that the DAP leadership had never proposed a change of Opposition Leader, but the Opposition must set forth in a new direction focussing on the need to strengthen and consolidate all Opposition forces in the country through a new national consensus,” he said in a statement today.

This comes after Pakatan Harapan (PH) secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution was quoted by Sinar Harian as saying that efforts to retake the government, through statutory declarations from MPs, would continue after the Opposition lost the vote to stop Budget 2021 from passing.

Saifuddin, in the interview on Friday, also reportedly said that the efforts were not Anwar’s personal decision, but the decision of PH.

Earlier on Thursday, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) president Mohamad Sabu had called on PH to stop wasting time trying to garner support from

Perikatan Nasional (PN) backbenchers, and instead reset it’s course.

“I am taken aback by the latest statement of the Pakatan Harapan secretary-general as he must speak on behalf of all three parties in the Opposition coalition and not for one political party,” Kit Siang said today.

He added that in order to stop Malaysia from becoming a failed state in 2040, and to counteract against problems highlighted by the Covid-19 pandemic — such as cases in Malaysia surging past China, failure to procure vaccines faster than Singapore, and Malaysian students reportedly being left behind due to lack of infrastructure — a new national consensus was needed.

He also said that a systematic campaign of lies had polarised the racial and religious lines in the country.

“This is why there is an urgent need for a new national consensus for the Merdeka Constitution 1957, the Malaysian Constitution 1963, the Rukun Negara 1970 and the Vision 2020 promulgated in 1991 have all failed — to the extent that there are now Ministers in the Cabinet who reject these basic documents of Malaysian nation-building.

“As I said yesterday, time and tide waits for no man and the time for action for a new national consensus is now as Malaysia must be spared the fate and ignominy of kleptocracy, kakistocracy and a failed state in 2040,” he said.

Senior Lim is just another con politician like Hadi and Mahathir! Only good in stirring up emotion and nothing else! Best to retire come GE15! Already broken is promise to retire if Mahathir didn't handover to Anwar! Then again, he lied when he told us that Mahathir has repented back in 2018!

Very Important comment from Senior Lim loh...!!

He added that in order to stop Malaysia from becoming a failed state in 2040, and to counteract against problems highlighted by the Covid-19 pandemic — such as cases in Malaysia surging past China, failure to procure vaccines faster than Singapore, and Malaysian students reportedly being left behind due to lack of infrastructure — a new national consensus was needed.

Best quote from YB Lim Senior: We can only become a world-class nation if we leverage on our unique position as the confluence of four great civilisations in the world.

Big 4: the descendants of Bongsuk and Inak (adam and eve of Sundaland), Gita, the Yellow Emperor, and prince of palembang(in chronological order - their coming into existence)

Conflict of interest: greatness of one religion only vs greatness of one race only vs greatness of one country for all vs greatness of all people from world top civilisations

Each leader wants a different thing. How to have political stability???????

why do we keep thinking politicians will solve our problems ?
why do we keep thinking big government will solve our problems ?
why do we keep thinking we are powerless and can't solve our own problems ?

Yeah, Senior Lim loves to talk and stir emotion! But during 22 months of Harapan, what did he do! Nothing! Instead Harapan government introduced jawi into chinese schools! Even during Umno 60 years regime, chinese schools were off limit!

During 22 months, what did Senior Lim do to stop corruption! Nothing! Instead his buddy friend AG Timmy Thomas threw LGE corruption case out of the window!

PH talk big only. PH other than broken promises and infighting, what they can do ? 1) Just imagine when M rules during the past 22 years regime, how much had DAP talked bad about M, 2) Ai was jailed twice one by M and the other by Ahjib. Now, in order to achieve their personal ends and political mileage, they can be together??? If PH were to rule during this covid pandemic, i opine the result would be the same as PN and more likely even worse. Just imagine, if PH rules at this times, for sure billions of ringgit would pumped into Mas instead for using by the rakyat.
