Main reason behind PAS’s antagonism towards DAP
TANJAK
Now that PAS is no longer allied with the Pakatan coalition, it’s hated by the DAP even more than Umno is.
This has a lot to do with the DAP leadership of Lim father and son – a political dynasty that has become a byword for hatred of one’s political opponents. Their party is synonymous with the politics of hate.
BN, particularly Umno, has been on the receiving end of hate from DAP for decades.
Likewise, former Umno president Tun Mahathir Mohamad had also been hated on intensely by the Lims for many decades but miraculously rehabilitated (di’Bersih’kan) since he made his infamous U-turn to the opposition camp a couple of years ago.

DAP’s inexhaustible store of hate
Last week, a report was lodged against Lim Guan Eng for allegedly uploading seditious and libelous (“fitnah”) content online. The report to Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission was made on March 15 by Ragvinder Singh Jessy, better known as Raggie Jessy to his readers.
The complainant, who operates The Third Force political website, followed up two days later with an article questioning Guan Eng if he was “teaching kids to hate” BN – refer video evidence here.
On and off, PAS served as the object of DAP hate throughout the checkered history of these two parties when their paths crossed. However, in the honeymoon period spanning the twelfth (2008) and thirteenth (2013) general elections, PAS became a political ally of DAP and thus was temporarily spared the latter’s legendary hatred.
