Kit Siang's royal pardon and typical DAP

 I was at a Pakatan ceramah in Ayer Hitam, Johor during the GE14 campaign when Lim Kit Siang asked the crowd how long the corrupt Najib should be sent to jail.

I sensed that the crowd was not sure themselves of how to answer him.

That's when Kit Siang said Najib should be jailed for life to which the crowd cheered in approval.

No mercy there it seemed.

Well, Kit Siang almost get his wish now.

It looks like Najib is on all count of probabilities going to have to serve the 12 years jail handed to him by the former Maybank executive turned judge Nazlan.

Najib is now 69 and will be 81 if he survives that sentence. Then there's the other charges against him which may add to  the SRC jail term.

It's therefore quite possible that Najib may end his life in jail.

Pakatan people are also generally against the idea of Najib getting a royal pardon and Kit Siang, based on his words at the Pakatan ceramah would feel the same.

Never mind that Anwar got the royal pardon for his sodomy conviction after Pakatan won GE14.

Never mind also that Kit Siang himself once got a royal pardon.

Yup, Kit Siang got one too.

His son Guan Eng said so in this article that he wrote himself;

80th Birthday Tribute To My Father Lim Kit Siang

excerpts;

The highest recognition of his future and important role as an Opposition Leader came from the late Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak, who advised the King to grant a Royal Pardon for Kit Siang over an electoral offence that would have disqualified him from Parliamentary office.

See the irony? Kit Siang calling for the jailing for life of the son of a man, who once helped got him a royal pardon.

Typical DAP.

In their campaigns, they depicted Umno as corrupt to the core and that the party had ruined the country from the start of its creation.

Remember all those talks about how Malaysia has suffered for decades since Merdeka under Umno-led administrations?

All went into the basket and thrown into the longkang.

Let's not even talk about the DAP's race-based campaign against Umno which managed to make DAP the overwhelming favourite among Chinese voters in this country today. 

Umno, being typical Melayu could never match DAP when it comes to advocating the destruction of its opponents.

Do you think Umno would have still exist today if DAP had managed to gain total control of the government?

PAP of Singapore, which is the origin of DAP ,basically destroyed all of its opponents when it came to power.

Opposition leaders were thrown in jail under the Singaporean ISA law, some for up to decades without trial. Others had to flee the country.

They even closed down Chinese schools, which were the recruiting ground of PAP's leftist opponents among the Singaporean Chinese.

I seriously believe DAP would do the same if it has such power.

Too bad that it didn't have full control of Putrajaya after Pakatan won GE14. Right?

That what Umno people should remember as they push for GE15, with some of their leaders on the verge of going to jail soon.

Oh, I have a feeling that Zahid will also be found guilty and straight away go to jail. He may not even have a stay of execution pending his appeal process like Najib.

Maybe only then Ismail Sabri will call for GE15.

Sigh.

Never mind. Hopefully Mat Hasan could take over and do the right thing if that ever happened.
