He said Liew, who is Kluang MP, should in fact be more concerned about the serious predicament his party is in as they did not know whether their infamous rocket logo could be used in the coming general election since the party’s current Central Executive Committee is not recognised by the Registrar of Societies.
“This is because DAP’s party elections are alleged to be gerrymandered and an undemocratic fix-up by Penang Official 1 and his father to perpetuate the family’s half-century long dictatorship over the DAP.
“This means DAP’s secretary-general, Penang Official 1 (Lim Guan Eng), is in no position to authorise anything in the party as he is not legally recognised.
“In fact, DAP’s entire leadership is under threat and could be declared illegal for their alleged election manipulation,” he said in a statement last night.
Tengku Sariffuddin also suggested that Liew and his party colleagues tell Penang Official 1, who is facing multiple corruption charges, to resign, tell party adviser Lim Kit Siang to retire after half a century of failed dictatorship and urge DAP vice-chairman Tan Seng Giaw, who is more concerned for the people’s welfare than for his personal power, to take over the party leadership.
“If Liew refuses, he should just keep quiet and refrain from parroting the tired old smears of a tired old dictator.
“We are now in the 21st century. Dictators are relics of the past – although the opposition, even though it claims to speak for democracy, now has not one but two dictators leading it,” he added.
