Lim Lip Eng, Lim Kit Siang, whatever – a DAP MP is never home to serve the people
The Third Force
From Bandar Melaka to Kota Melaka to Petaling and back again to Kota Melaka, Lim Kit Siang is one DAP politician who can never stick to one constituency. In 1986, he hopped over to Tanjong before ending up in Bukit Bukit Bendera 13 years later. In 2004, he landed himself in Ipoh Timor before making a long-distance jump all the way to Gelang Patah. And just when you thought the hopping stopped, speculation is rife that he’s going to take on MCA heavyweight Liow Tiong Lai in Bentong come GE14.
Yes, just like the shameless Lim Lip Eng who is everywhere but the Segambut constituency he represents, people in Gelang Patah don’t really seem to relate to Kit Siang simply because he’s never home. As far as DAP leaders are concerned, a general election is merely a gateway to parliament not for the benefit of constituents, but to satisfy their egos and ideological fantasies.
Don’t believe me?
Well, just hop over to Segambut and ask the locals if they’ve seen Lip Eng around these past four years. Instead of helping the poor fix leaking roofs or finding ways to resolve their flood woes, he’s busy sticking his oars in stuff he hasn’t a clue about. On the 28th of March 2014, he took a potshot at government by requesting that a DAP leader be made “commander of the air force or navy,” which, according to him, was the only way MH370 could be found.
The callous remark earned him the ire of netizens who chastised him for politicising the airliner’s disappearance. Not only did he refuse to apologise, he was never reprimanded by Kit Siang who, just days earlier, urged Barisan Nasional to set aside political differences amid the crisis. The Gelang Patah MP stood silent as Lip Eng toyed with the emotions of families who were hoping against hope that their loved ones would somehow be found.
Now tell me, is this what you’re voting these DAP fellows to parliament for?
That’s the question you ought to ask yourselves the next time you decide to cast your ballots in their favour. Kit Siang has absolutely no interest in the broken roofs of Gelang Patah folk the way Lip Eng couldn’t give a hoot if Segambut were flooded. The general election is merely a springboard for them to launch their egos to Putrajaya, that’s all.
Believe me, these fellows have hearts of stone and aren’t interested in your problems or grouses. Just ask Teresa Kok – wasn’t it she who insulted the family members of slain armed personnel who were martyred defending Lahad Datu against an incursion in 2013? Tell me, does that bxtch even have a heart??
