Guan Eng is ‘incompetent’, says ex-Dap branch leader

(NST) – DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng was described as ‘incompetent’ by a former party branch leader for submitting a mere ‘three-page’ report to the Registrar of Societies (RoS) in the recent party election.

Former Jalan Bagan Luar chairman G. Asoghan said Lim had caused an embarrassment to the DAP by giving such sketchy report over the Sept 29 special congress and Central Executive Committee (CEC) re-election in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

“He is unfit to be a secretary-general. A three-page report sent to he RoS is too short and it did not do any good to our party’s tarnished image.

“He’s clearly hiding something in the CEC elections,”he told reporters here today.

The party’s CEC elections last December were marred with a tabulation “glitch”, with complaints by party members, claiming that there were irregularities.

The glitch caused party activist Vincent Wu to be moved to the 26th spot from his original sixth position, giving way to Lim’s political secretary Zairil Abdullah, who was originally in the 39th position, to move up to the 20th spot in the CEC elections at the party’s national congress in Penang on Dec 15 last year.

The RoS had then sent a letter to the DAP saying that it did not recognise the top leadership, which in return led to the party to hold a CEC elections to avoid risk of de-registration.
