Come clean on your ambition to become DPM, Kit Siang told
Tengku Sariffuddin has called on Lim Kit Siang to come clean on allegation that he desires to become the DPM if the DAP-led Pakatan Harapan wins GE14
(Malaysia Outlook) – The prime minister’s (PM) media officer has demanded DAP leader Lim Kit Siang to come clean on his alleged ambition to become the deputy prime minister (DPM).
Prime Minister Najib Razak’s press secretary Tengku Sariffuddin said it was crucial and timely for Kit Siang to explain to Malaysians his reluctance to admit his political ambition to be the DPM and finance minister if Pakatan Harapan wins the next general election (GE14).
Sariffuddin also questioned on whether it was true that the reason Kit Siang approached PAS recently was to secure the Islamic-based party endorsement for his desire to be the DPM.
“Lim Kit Siang needs to come clean on this, as it is the right of Malaysians to know who they will be ruled by if they vote Pakatan.
“It is only fair for the people to know if it is true,” said Sariffuddin in a statement today.
He stressed that Kit Siang must tell the people whether it was his political ambition to be the DPM, as confessed by former Premier Mahathir Mohamad on Jan 19, 2017.
In view of the fact that DAP was the clear leader of Pakatan, he said Malaysians needed to know whether Kit Siang would assume the posts if the DAP-led opposition wins GE14.
“We cannot ignore the fact that DAP is the party with the biggest number of parliamentary seats in the Pakatan alliance, and therefore in reality has the dominant leadership position within it,” he said.
