‘The MCA chief has no credibility to question Lim’s political moves’.
PETALING JAYA: Johor DAP chief Boo Cheng Hau today defended party strongman Lim KitSiang against criticism by MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek, saying the latter had no moral standing to question the opposition leader’s political decisions.
“He is not fit to belittle Lim Kit Siang,” he said in response to Chua’s remark that Lim was a “touch-and-go politician” for shifting from one constituency to another as an election candidate.
“Until today,” Boo said in a media statement, “Chua has not made known where he will contest in the upcoming general election. As the MCA president, he has lost his credibility.”
Chua made his comment following an announcement on Monday by Pakatan Rakyat chief Anwar Ibrahim that Lim, currently the MP for Ipoh Timur, would contest in Gelang Petah for the 13th general election.
“If we want to say it politely, he is a hit-and-run politician; if we want to say it rudely, he is a touch-and-go politician,” news reports quoted Chua as saying yesterday.
