SINCE WHEN DID LEE KUAN YEW BECOME 'LIM KUAN YEW' - AND WHEN DID CHIN PENG BECOME 'LIM CHIN PENG' - SURELY PAS IS NOT WAITING FOR SINGAPORE & CHIN PENG'S FAMILY TO SUE - BEFORE ORDERING ITS MP SITI MASTURA TO APOLOGIZE - AND STOP MAKING A LAUGHING STOCK OF THE QUALITY OF PhD QUALIFICATIONS IN MALAYSIA

Written by Choo Sing Chye 

KUALA LUMPUR (Politics Now!) - It would be a momentous surprise to Lim Kit Siang to wake up one morning to find out that he is a close relative to the famous Lee Kuan Yew and the infamous Chin Peng.  

All these revelations had me baffled big time, because all this while I never once thought that Chin Peng’s full name was Lim Chin Peng or Lee Kuan Yew was Lim Kuan Yew.   

Had it not for the young PhD holder and MP from the North, who goes by the name of Siti Mastura Muhammad, Lim Kit Siang would have gone away without knowing this.  

Just think of the years that Lim Kit Siang had lost without paying homage to his lost ancestors or the many missed reunion dinners, it is utterly very sad indeed.

Okay, let’s put jokes aside.  Either the history books had me taught wrong or the PhD holder and MP Siti Mastura Muhammad had pulled a fast one on the Lim’s family and us.  

Chin Peng

Obviously, it is a commonly held belief that Malaysian history is prone to changes, but it only happens every five years during the heat of the election campaign which is solely made by politicians and not historians. 

Seemingly in the case of our honourable  PhD and MP Siti Mastura Muhammad, the speed of the historical change was blistering fast.  In just one night’s ceramah (public rally) she had managed to conjoin three families into one, if this is not lightning fast, furious and fake, I don’t know what is?

I do not know whether she is faking the facts about Kit Siang’s family link to Chin Peng and Lee Kuan Yew or she really believes in it.   If she really believes in the link, she is ignorant, and she urgently need to go back to her university to take a refresher course.  If she is faking it, then she is a dubious politician.  Which is which?  I do not know.

But anyway, Perikatan Nasional politicians are plenty smart fellows, they know the fastest way  and the easiest way to demonize DAP is to spread false and fact-free narratives to the public that DAP is a communist party, anti-royalty, anti-Malays and anti-Islam.  No deep thinking needed, just as simple as that.

Actually, this persuasion is also the trademark of the Barisan Nasional and is a must use construct for every General Elections. 

Anyway, I would like to see the day in the near future, I hope, that the Barisan Nasional would take Perikatan Nasional to court and sue them for this blatant patent infringement. - Letter from Choo Sing Chye
