My three-paragraph statement at 7 pm last night that the DAP Central Executive Committee emergency meeting on 9th March had not given approval for a PAS Mentri Besar to head a Perak coalition state government was not made out of disrespect to the Perak Sultan and Regent both whom I have always held in the highest regard and I apologise for any offence caused. The statement was on the party position at the time.
There have been further discussions and developments on the matter in the hours after the statement. Announcements of the latest position will be made.

YB LKS,
Please listen to the rakyat. We are looking forward for formation of Barisan Rakyat after the 12th General Election. Whether PAS/PKR/DAP became MB of Perak is of no importance as Perak Sultan and Raja Muda with all respect and wisdom have shown fairness to all rakyat.
Please ensure Barisan Rakyat stand strong thru storm and sunshine as we rakyat have given mandate to Barisan Rakyat and not DAP nor PAS nor PKR.
This is from a Chinese have more than 50 rockets behind his back and we will ensure no matter what circumstances Barisan Rakyat will stand. Dont ever give the enemies a chance to destroy the coalition. Please uncle for the rakyat sake.

Great news! Let’s work together for the betterment of all Malaysians. Press on Barisan Rakyat.
#3 by IloveMalaysiaToo on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:10 am
Dear Lim,
The current happenings in Perak and Selangor had shown very clearly
that malaysian Malaysia is still a dream and may remain so for as long time to come
but I do believe that if DAP can focus on getting “fairness, transparency,
accountability and incorruptible” governance in place then any racial issues will
automatically fall apart as it is fundamentally against fairness.
So please use your mandate from the people as a tool for the better of all malaysian
and lets begin it in Penang and Perak.
TQ

Please attend the swearing-in ceremony…..
#5 by alexx on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:13 am
Uncle Lim,
Please go(although I dun really feel nice to have a PAS MB)!!!
But all and the all…. we need to show some RESPECT before we can ask Malay-Muslim to respect us as well….
Without respect we just cant have fair discussion and work together, and we will still just form another barisan depending on races… cos Malay will turn back for not support DAP and chinese not willing to accept PAS…And Opposition-coalition will only be able to lead 4 yrs only….
Yet forever we cant be successful in the process to work hard together and form Malaysian Malaysia!!!
#6 by pulau_sibu on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:14 am
The Sultan did not make a very wise decision. In the democratic system, the majority is the winner. My thought was DAP would take control as MB. It may be difficult for the three parties to announce so, but if Sultan picks it, the people would not say anything. Now the sultan made a different choice. Chaos started….
To reiterate my suggestion. Those in the state government, no matter they are from DAP, PAS or PKR, please detach yourselves from a particular party.
Why Anwar did not mention anything?
The sultan is in favor of PAS! UMNO would be in trouble, for sure.
The Malay monarchy has to adopt to changes as well, consideration above the race, religion and sex.
Last point. What kind of multimedia corridor is boleh????? All the major websites became tak-boleh after the election. Is this kind of situation justified for country with multi-media corridor?
#7 by Ade on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:14 am
YB LKS…
I do hope you think before you act everytime. Shocking decision like this really leaves us the rakyat shattering. This is not how we envisioned a full fledged Barisan Rakyat to work….you guys need to work together..PLEASE work together…you always talk about ONE MALAYSIA…and now this! What are you trying to do…crossing over to BN?

Dear YB LKS,
It must be a real hard time for you over the last 12 hours… but I do hope this issue is now resting on the ground… and we’ve got to move forward, for a long 4 years…
Much damage had been done, I hope DAP learns how to undo the damage, and also to formulate a more systematic way to deal with tons of issues… :)
And I seriously hope DAP could dig more into the partnership with the other opposition party… :)
Your supporter,

Kit,
I must say I’m very disappointed with all this nonsense. At a time where discretion should have been exercised, you have displayed an appalling lack of it.
Why all this fuss?? You can’t trust PAS?? Why? Malaysians from all walks of life trusted you guys, but now you seem to have betrayed it.
Is this all about power?? Penang not enough? Come on! You just gave BN all the ammo it needs to send shivers down the spine of the fence sitters!
Sigh! I’m beginning to think that there’s no difference to all of you..
Unfortunately, damage done..no matter what remedies you take henceforth…
#13 by low2215 on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:18 am

i support your decison on attending the ceremony.
#14 by nahoda on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:18 am
Uncle Lim, you are back on track again. No doubt is PAS MB, so what….you party still the main. Work for the people and prove to be end that BR is much much more better. Everyone wanna to see a total change in GE-13.
DAP, PKR or PAS i’ll vote for them.
#15 by 9to5 on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:19 am
Thank you Kit. This is a wise decision and it is you to be praised for “never too stubborn to learn from a life lesson from the rakyat” – not Badawi.
You already control a majority in the coalition and the the exco and therefore it is your party which makes the decision behind the MB; this MB thing is just a minor hiccup. Let the MB carry out the malay religious custom which you are unable to do.
The longer term picture is to stabilise the coalition and win the next 13th GE.

#21 by unsaid on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:25 am
I was one of the heavier critics on your decision to call for DAP Assemblymen to not attend the Ceremony. Eventhough the damage have been done, but nonetheless, it takes a real man to stand up to one’s fault, and places priority of his people above one’s own. Only then will one truly be serving the people from its heart. All the best YB, must have been rough time you’re going through. I believe the situation will be salvaged and BN wont have much to capitalize on this untoward incident.
Long Live Barisan Rakyat, Long Live Malaysian Malaysia
#22 by jt84 on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:25 am
Uncle Kit Siang,
This is my first message on your blog. I am truly honoured when I was able to meet you at the Ceramah in Serdang on 25th February! I want to Congratulate on the success of DAP in the 12th General Election! You are truly a leader for all Malaysians! I have been reading your blog often since three weeks ago. I am quite upset with some of the replies on your previous post but nevertheless you’re a very generous and open-minded person as till the point of even allow such replies to be posted on your blog. I am truly encouraged by your humility.
Personally, I do not mind a PAS MB in Perak if that it what the Sultan of Perak has decided as DAP Leaders have addressed the issue clearly to the supporters of DAP already. Therefore, I do not see any reason for supporters who thinks otherswise.
You’re a person with strong convictions on your principles and I applaud you for that! I hope that you and your colleagues at CEC will make the best decision to make a strong DAP-PKR-PAS Coalition Government in the three state governments as the Rakyat is ready for CHANGE IN MALAYSIA!
To others, let us not forget on how much Uncle Lim Kit Siang has sacrificed for us and the country! When this issue of the MB of Perak is resolved, let us hope that Uncle Lim Kit Siang to be awarded an official title, let is be Tan Sri’ or Tun’ for his service to Malaysia eventhough I am sure Uncle Lim himself does not need such title and award!
Uncle Lim! You’re always a Hero to all Malaysians in hearts and souls! Take care and have a good rest when all the three DAP-PKR-PAS state goverments are properly established.
May God provide His abundant grace and wisdom to all DAP leaders including PKR and PAS leaders!
jt
#23 by Chong Zhemin on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:26 am
Uncle kit,
I felt so relief with your apology. I found myself lack of arguments when my friends attack your decision not to attend the wear in ceremony.
No matter what your final decision is. i will always stand by you. I trust you have enough wisdom to overcome this. I have given it a thought how to reconcile the differences between dap and pas.
1. make PAS issue a statement to give up their ambition to build an islamic state in perak.
2. should PAS starts any islamisation process, DAP shall pullout from the coalition unconditionally.
3. Let the PAS candidate crossover to PKR.
However, I personally feel that 5 years is enough for the perakians to gauge the performance of a PAS MB. If PAS manage to rule better than BN, the oppositions are hopeful to take on the federal government next rouund. It’s worth a gamble!
#24 by nice_people on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:29 am
i’m malay/muslim people but i’m voting for DAP in this election.Just let work together, respect each other. we can go through it.
#25 by cheong on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:29 am
Good! Thank you uncle Kit for the timely reversal of your earlier decision. Let good sense prevail.
BTW I’ve visited most of the popular blogs (including this) and noticed all readers unanimously against the boycott.
#26 by pulau_sibu on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:29 am
Uncle Lim probably did not expect such a overwhelming support of people toward a PAS MB. No, not a PAS MB, but the coalition MB! He would expect we blast at him, saying DAP has no guts, etc., but we blasted him for a different matter.
Remember that the Malays voted for DAP as well, not because of DAP but because of coalition.
Now with our support of the MB, it is easier for Uncle Lim to handle this business with PAS.
ok. Uncle Lim is not going to be just the DAP leader, but also the coalition leader.
I am sick of reading news about samy or MCA. Can the newspapers stop reporting those meaningless news?
#27 by kafkalee on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:31 am
Dear KS,
good to hear your latest statement.
probably you should focus more on Deputy MB of Selangor now. If Perak allows 2 Deputy MB, why not Selangor?
#28 by kafkalee on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:32 am

#29 by tpkoh on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:32 am
I am glad to hear that you have reversed your decision, and decided to attend the ceremony now. It is not easy, but I am glad that DAP is really listening to people voices – we need a government that listen to their people, who love their people and work for their people. Love Live! and God bless
#30 by mrpenang on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:34 am

You are a true man. LKS is the best.
Fight for the justice and admit for the mistake.

#31 by Utopia on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:34 am
Well, everyone makes mistake. Noone is perfect. The best one could do is to learn from his mistake and not to it again. In this case, I think DAP has done a good job here!
Cmon guys, don’t be so harsh. At least now DAP has apologized and moved on. We should also accept this apology.
#32 by Y1 on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:35 am
I am glad that DAP is still open to the new Malaysian Scenario. We have hoped beyond hope that Malaysia will be a country free from racial and religious politics. This recent new dawn surprised many of us old timers and has given us new hope. It has given all of us a window of opportunity to make Malaysia into the potential it has.
Let’s give the new hope as desired by so many Malaysians a chance. Work with PAS for this time in Perak. I too am wary and worried of how PAS might turn out but I prefer to overcome my fear with faith, hope and love. Let all Malaysians have faith, hope and love again.
#33 by I Malaysian on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:35 am
I am relieved with your statement that was followed by Perak DAP leadership. YB, once again the fellow Malaysians have proven that they will take anyone including (with all due respect) you when something is overlooked or ignored that will affect the general interest of this nation. Can all of us see how we have united as one nation?
WOW ” I FEEL GREAT TO BE A MALAYSIAN”, TO ALL MY CHINESE, MALAY AND INDIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS A BIG THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE POINT TO UNCLE LIM.
AND to Pak Lah Please don’t warn our CM Lim Guan Eng. He is doing the best for all Malaysians. We will be behind Lim as long as he works for all.

Uncle Lim, I support your move. Think of the people future, Malaysian Malaysia rule by BR. A new landscape for Malaysian.
#37 by dap-for-pj on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:37 am
I have all my 30years of my voting life lookup to Uncle Kit as my inspiration. His earlier statement is out of his concerns that we as voting rakyat has given the mandate to DAP and not PAS to lead which I must say a lot of us still a bit ‘uncomfortable’. Uncle Kit has issue his statement out of this concern on behalf of us and we should appreciate what he has done. This is to Uncle Kit, ….we understand your earlier statement is bourne out of your concern that we rakyat may feel short changed. We want to let you know that I am from the Chinese community in PJ and are beyond race and religion when it comes to fight against corruption, nepotism and injustice. If En.Nizar is along this line of thinking and treats Malay, Chinese, Indians and minorities as equals, he has my blessing. Uncle Kit, give him a chance to prove me right and I want to say you still have my full support.

Dear YB,
I am glad that you have come to your senses. However, I think a press statement is insufficient. The damage has already been done.
Please seek an audience with the Perak royalty to personally apologise to the royalty. I think that would be better and a more humbling thing to do. To put it bluntly, you and DAP have a serious PR exercise to do to regain the confidence of the people notwithstanding the apology.
We want to see a united BR working for the welfare of the ordinary people. We don’t look at positions but service. Lead and serve us well with a spirit of unity for the next 5 years irregardless of race or religion and we will return our votes.
#41 by musyu99 on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:39 am
YB LKS,
Dalam komen saya beberapa artikel yang lepas ada saya mengatakan pakatan DAP/PKR/PAS bukan sahaja perlu untuk menafikan 2/3 majoriti kepada BN. Malah apa yang kami mahu BN terus di lumpuhkan kerana kami sudah tidak percaya lagi kepada BN.
Walaupun PKR/DAP/PAS berjaya mencapai hasrat menggagalkan 2/3 majoriti kepada BN namun kami juga berasa amat bangga apabila pakatan ini dapat merampas Kedah, P.Pinang, Perak dan Selangor. Satu bonus yang tidak diduga.
Untuk makluman YB, saya berbangsa melayu yang sebelum ini penyokong kuat BN. Selepas 4 tahun kepimpinan Pak Lah, saya sekeluarga mula rasa jengkel dengan kelemahan kepimpinannya dan yang tidak pernah berpegang kepada kata-kata. Malah kami tidak menyokong Islam Hadhari walaupun sebagai kaki tangan kerajaan dipaksa untuk menyokong segala arahan kerajaan BN.
Pada PRU12 ini, saya sekeluarga telah berpakat untuk tidak menyokong BN lagi dan kami percaya pakatan PKR/DAP/PAS akan dapat mengubah suasana politik negara. Apa lagi dengan slogan DAP: JOM UBAH! Kami yakin dan turut walaupun pada mulanya rasa sangsi dengan pakatan ini.
Oleh kerana kami tinggal dikawasan Kinrara, saya sekeluarga telah pergi ke pejabat DAP untuk mendapatkan bendera, banner DAP untuk kami membantu berkempen secara tidak langsung. Kami kibarkan bendera DAP dikereta dan rumah kami hingga menjadi perhatian orang ramai kerana mereka hairan, saya seorang berbangsa melayu dan kaki tangan kerajaan menyokong pakatan DAP/PKR/PAS. Saya berasa bangga mengibarkan bendera/banner PAS dikereta dan rumah saya.
Walaupun sumbangan kami kecil dari segi membantu berkempen untuk pakatan PKR/DAP/PAS. Kami lakukan dengan keikhlasan dan keyakinan bahawa pakatan ini boleh mengubah nasib Malaysia dengan lebih cemerlang lagi. Saya tidak mendaftar nama di pejabat DAP untuk bantu berkempen atau di lain-lain tempat parti pakatan. Bagi saya itu semua tidak penting tetapi yang lebih penting ialah kejayaan.
Kepenatan saya membantu berkempen akhirnya berbalas dengan kemenangan besar pakatan dibeberapa buah negeri dan persekutuan. Pada saat itu saya sekeluarga dengan megah tunjuk pada jiran-jiran kejayaan pakatan ini. Kita semua bersatu untuk mencapai kejayaan. DAP tidak lagi mainkan sentimen bangsa, PAS tidak bangkitkan soal ugama dan PKR boleh diterima oleh semua, malah boleh dikatakan masyarakat boleh terima pakatan ini.
Pada pagi ini apabila terbaca surat khabar tentang kemelut yang berlaku di Perak terutama kenyataan YB supaya ADUN DAP boikot majlis perlantikan MB Perak, hati kami begitu terguris dan amat sedih sekali. Sepatutnya YB perlu berfikir secara terbuka sebelum membuat sesuatu kenyataan terutama yang boleh menggugat kestabilan pakatan yang baru lahir ini. Pihak lawan sentiasa mencari peluang untuk merosakan pakatan yang mulia ini yang dibentuk atas aspirasi rakyat yang sedar dan insaf betapa perlunya kita hidup bermasyarakat.
Tetapi dengan kenyataan maaf YB ini, saya sekeluarga berlinang air mata bukan sahaja YB sanggup mengaku silap dan memohon maaf kepada DYMM Sultan perak secara terbuka tetapi yang lebih berkesan lagi ialah untuk memenuhi aspirasi rakyat yang berbilang kaum.
Saya sekeluarga sentiasa berdoa semoga YB dan lain-lain pucuk pimpinan parti pakatan PKR/DAP/PAS berada dalam petunjuk jalan yang lurus bagi membentuk satu bangsa Malaysia yang dinamik dan mengkagumkan.
Terima kasih.

It’s time to change. The Menteri Besar must represent all rakyat and not a particullar race, party, religion or gender. As long as the MB is capable, clean, fair and listen to rakyat, then we will support.
In future, we should look into let the rakyat to elect who should be the MB, regardless the race, religion, party or gender. Should have debate in public to show thier capability and vision and let rakyat decide.
#43 by saviour on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:43 am
good move uncle lim.. and we people don’t see any harm of having a PAS MB.. we vote for the coalition.. not for a specific party… i think this is the point where DAP should be more malaysian and work collaboratively with other parties (PKR/PAS)… i noted that there are quite a numbers of Malay voted for DAP and Chinese voted for PAS/PKR during the last election… people from different races are moving forward to be closer to each other… we should focus on overall matters, not individual ideology. Think wisely and act wisely. I really admire people who can talks to the crowd and keep his virtue… let’s live in harmony and peace…

Tahniah LKS.. sdr LKS akan dipandang lebih tinggi oleh orang melayu/islam dengan kenyataan maaf ini.. ini dapat menunjukkan kepada barisan pembangkang di Perak bahawa pemimpin tinggi juga mampu untuk meminta maaf kepada penyokongnya..
PAS sudah menyatakan dari awal ketika kemenangan PKR/PAS/DAP bahawa kerajaan yang dibentuk di Perak adalah kerajaan PKR/PAS/DAP.. bukan kerajaan PAS jika MB dilantik dikalangannya.. anda semua boleh layari HarakahDaily untuk rujukan.

Thank you, uncle Lim. Thank you. Some people has been reading too much from your statement, saying that you are racist.
A second reading of your previous statement shows that your concern is on the CM coming from DAP, PAS or Keadilan. Not based on race.
It will help if you can reassure us that race is not important. Uncle Lim, you gave us hope, don’t crush it.

NOW THAT BERUK KHAIRY JAMALUDDIN (calling him “beruk” or “kera” is now justified since he has his own blog) IS NO LONGER ABLE TO LAUGH AT US. BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTION, HE CALLED THIS COALITION OF BARISAN RAKYAT “NIKAH MUTA’AH.”
DAP LEADERS SHOULD MAKE UP THEIR MINDS ONCE AND FOR ALL WHETHER TO WORK WITH PAS OR NOT. DO NOT CONFUSE THE RAKYAT! OF COURSE DAP SHOULD NEVER AGREEE ON ISLAMISATION OR TALIBANISATION OF MALAYSIA. BUT WE CAN WORK WITH PAS BASED ON CERTAIN PRINCIPLES THAT WE BOTH SHARE I.E. A FAIR AND JUST MALAYSIA FOR ALL RACES.
#47 by jetaime.f on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:45 am
Since Mr. Lim voiced out his disagreement for PAS elected MB to take office, which is not unreasonable, but given the people sees that the opposition should move as one which is one of the underlying factors of the whole shift in power, why aren’t there any non-Malays exco or deputy MB in Kelantan, Kedah, as well as Selangor even if DAP has not contested in the former states? It is a “one opposition” party that the people sees after all, No?
#48 by HaiHiung on Thursday, 13 March 2008 - 11:45 am
Dear YB Lim,
I can understand your party position. In a true Westminster Democracy spirit, the CM post should be given to your party in Perak. But you’ll have to be pragmatic, DAP is not as strong as you have been lead to believe. Don’t misconstrue the result of this election, the voters did not choose DAP or PKR or PAS, they were rejecting BN.
Now, do get this right, you were given an opportunity to prove yourself because of the circumstances not because of your party strength. Boycotting the ceremony will be taken by the voters that DAP is showing sign of arrogance, and politically you don’t want that. Also, you should know this better than me, you (DAP/PKR/PAS) didn’t win enough seats in Perak to amend the constitution, so there’s really nothing you could do about the Perak Regent’s decision, accept it, after all you still want to form a Perak State government.
Personally, I think there are a lot of good could arise from this, DAP is given a golden opportunity to show what you are fighting for, please do not let this opportunity go to waste.

It is very clear that DAP still needs to discuss further and more announcement will be made !!! This is the spirit of DAP !!!
However if eventually DAP accept it, I still support the decision, but just want to know the reason behind. I afraid DAP become another party that only know how to make compromises instead of fight for a fair society !!!
