The Democratic Action Party (DAP) was a spawn from Lee Kuan Yew’s PAP. When Singapore was admitted into the Federation of Malaysia, it was so clear Lee Kuan Yew was ambitious and wanted to gain control of the Federation. The PAP messed into mainstream Malaysian politics. They broke the gentlemen’s agreement between him and Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra, First Prime Minister of Malaysia of PAP’s non interference into mainstream Malaysian politics. PAP however fielded 11 candidates in the 1964 General Elections.

When Singapore was expelled from the Federation in August 1965, the reminiscence of PAP were purposely left remained, personalities like Devan Nair (later became Singapore’s President) was to be a thorn against Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra’s administration. PAP connivingly activated its “political mines”, under the guise of Democratic Action Party (DAP). They had the same slogan, “Malaysian, Malaysia” as their PAP masters, earlier.

Although DAP professes multiracial socialist politics as their theme, in reality there is nothing multiracial about their approach. The mainstay of DAP leadership had always been Chinese and so far, they have had no policy as a “Malaysian multiracial party”. For example, DAP do not have a policy how to deal with the under development state of the Malays, being the 60% of the population. No mention about how many Malays still require affirmative action on education, to alleviate their socio-economic woes. Instead, DAP have been seen as championing Chinese chauvinistic agenda like the vernacular school system, which many felt is the root of the digression in any national integration agenda.

So how would it be possible for DAP to call itself “multiracial and the champion of socialism” if they have no specific agenda or plan to address the needs of the Malays, being 60% of the population? On top that, DAP has constantly tried to challenge the “Special Malay Rights” enshrined under Article 153 of the Federal Constitution. DAP systematically tried to “rudely” defy a social contract agreed by all parties during the negotiations of independence.

Many good DAP leaders fizzled out and faded away, even before they could complete their service to the rakyat. Why DAP stalwarts like Lee Lam Thye, Dr Kua Kia Soong, Kerk Kim Hock, Hu Sepang, Wee Choo Keong, Lee Ban Chien, Ronnie Liu, S K Soong, Teoh Teik Huat, Thing Chiek Ming, Lim Fui Ming, Fan Teng Yew and Fung Ket Wing no longer in the mainstream menu of the party?

Why is it back to the Father, the Son and the Daughter-in-law, over and over again? It only shows that DAP has always been an avenue for this family to remain in power indefinitely. Some might even say, it’s a revenue model for the family. Lim Kit Siang, who have been in direct control and power of the DAP since 1969 as the Secretary General, has been the Opposition Leader for almost 30 years (with the exception of 1999-2004, where Hj. Hadi Awang, PAS president assumed the position).

Notably, Lim Kit Siang does not attack or take swipes againt the Prime Minister and his family. It is so apparent. These are the abusive, opulence and excesses that so many talked about. So why is it that these people (Lim and family) never attack nor criticize the PM, the Son and the Son-In-Law? Is it because they want to be like the PAP Dynasty, Lee Kuan Yew, Lee Hsien Loong and Lee Hsien Yang and something Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Kamaluddin Abdullah and Khairy Jamaluddin is trying to emulate?

DAP go around lambasting BN being a corrupt Government lead by corrupt leaders. Lets see how the DAP leaders themselves fare. Ask where did the monies collected for the “Free Lim Guan Eng” campaign went to? Why was it Lim Kit Siang instructed the monies collected be banked into Lim Guan Eng’s personal account and not the party’s, even though monies were on raised on DAP platform? No separation between Lim Kit Siang & Son Dynasty Esq. and party? Isn’t that corruption?

In reality, DAP is actually nothing more than an ultra long 40 years straight running Chinese opera called “Father, Son and the Daughter-in-law only!” and its getting very stale. Constantly, Lim Kit Siang ‘begged’ the support of the Chinese, every time DAP face General Elections. Since 1986, too many ‘Tanjong’ projects launched (to wrestle Pulau Pinang from BN) and yet no results. Just to illustrate the tyranny of Lim Kit Siang, throughout the campaign for the ‘Tanjong III’ project during the 10th General Elections of April 1995, he potrayed himself as the “Robocop”! Its seems there are no measurement of deliverables to the empty promises and failed attempts of the DAP under Lim Kit Siang & Son Dynasty Esq.
