Lim Guan Eng and his amazing conspiracy theories
“Guan Eng secretly approved a lot more than 120 branches just to “legitimize” the delegates his men ‘smuggled’ into the election hall in 2012. However, the “new branches” were unconstitutional, considering that the CEC had already been declared illegal and lacked jurisdiction to approve anything, forget the branches”
THE THIRD FORCE
Last Thursday, the man who is not supposed to be the Secretary-General of the DAP, Lim Guan Eng, told a press conference that his party was ‘stunned’ by a Registrar of Societies (RoS) directive requiring it to re-elect its Central Executive Committee (CEC). According to him, the RoS hinged its decision solely on “false and unfounded allegations” that were derived from “a book by a fictitious Father Augustus Chen.”
To bring you up to speed, on the 7th of July 2017, the RoS declared the CEC illegal after conducting a thorough probe into reports of electoral irregularities, lodged in 2013 by members of the DAP. Despite maintaining the reports to be fake, Guan Eng told newsmen on Thursday that a re-election was definitely on the cards, stressing that he “never said no” to the idea.
But there were strings attached.
According to him, the party would only arrive at a decision once it met the RoS, implying that the official notice issued by the statutory body wasn’t “clear enough.” Then, almost as if to contradict him, Teresa Kok told newsmen last Saturday that the DAP would go ahead and re-elect its CEC through a “Special Congress,” which, according to her, was “provided for by the party constitution.”
So, in just three days, the DAP went from “well, maybe we’ll do a re-election,” to “yeah, we’re sure as hell gonna do it.” Working on these developments, let us ask ourselves some fundamental questions, beginning with the one subject to the most number of spins by Lim Kit Siang and his son, Lim Guan Eng.
Was the 2013 CEC re-election rigged?
Think about it.
If indeed the RoS is out to sabotage the DAP, why would Guan Eng even bother with a re-election? Isn’t it obvious that he knows what the RoS already knows, that the 2013 re-election was heavily rigged? So, the bigger question we should be asking ourselves is this – was Kok herself complicit with Guan Eng to rig the election?
After all, wasn’t it she who announced – presumably, on his behalf – that the party would pursue the election track (instead of seeking recourse to courts)? Perhaps she herself has something to hide. Perhaps, she joined Liew Chin Tong and Anthony Loke Siew Fook behind the curtains to mark the half-filled ballots cast by phantom voters in 2013.
I mean, who knows, right?
