He also asked Takiyuddin if he was suggesting that the Federal Constitution and Rukun Negara were divisive and inflammatory documents.

“He should be referred to the privileges committee to determine whether he violated his oath as an MP to ‘preserve, protect and defend’ the Federal Constitution.

“When Takiyuddin said that the issue of a non-Malay becoming prime minister is ‘poisonous propaganda’ with the potential to create an atmosphere of disharmony, is he suggesting that the constitution and the Rukun Negara are divisive and inflammatory documents?” Lim said in a statement.

He also told Takiyuddin that instead of asking Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to “control and stop DAP’s toxic narratives”, he should make PAS more moderate to protect the constitution and Malaysia’s multiculturalism.

On Tuesday, Takiyuddin urged Anwar to intervene and put a stop to what the party described as “toxic narratives” surrounding recent calls made by DAP.

He said the narrative had brought DAP’s true intentions into question, which included recent statements by Lim and Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai, who had urged the government to reinstate local elections starting with Kuala Lumpur.

In a speech to Malaysian students in the UK last month, Lim said he hoped Malaysia would not have to wait as long as the US to have a leader from an ethnic minority.

He was referring to former US president Barack Obama, who was elected to the White House some 230 years after independence.

Lim said Malaysians, regardless of race, must share a Malaysian dream instead of a mono-ethnic dream. However, he admitted that it was unlikely a non-Malay would become prime minister in the next 100 years.

Bukit Aman later opened a probe and summoned Lim to give his statement yesterday, saying the former Iskandar Puteri MP had touched on constitutional issues.
