Guan Eng doesn’t practise what he preaches – He too turned mute when his supporters performed a mock funeral

To score nothing else other than political mileage, Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng should be chided for casting doubts on the method in which the Home Ministry is investigating allegations of Janji Demokrasi rally goers who allegedly intended to replace ourJalur Gemilang, stomping on and exposing one’s rear to the portrait of our Prime Minister and his spouse.

Guan Eng has expressed doubt over the standards deployed by the Home Ministry to conduct a probe on individuals who had stepped on his portrait or Perkasa members who performed a mock funeral rite at his residence. However, Guan Eng overlooks the fact that he too closed an eye when he allowed his supporters to carry a coffin, holding a mock funeral ceremony by burning white candles and then kept quiet over these incidents during previous GE campaigns.

When such actions were committed against BN leaders, Guan Eng quickly appeared expressing regrets in hopes of seeking sympathy from the public. He craftily pinned blame on the BN leadership. In reality, he himself adopts double standards.

When Perkasa conducted a mock funeral rite at his residence this year, I immediately issued a press statement reprimanding Perkasa for their uncouth behaviour. However, when this DAP Secretary General’s supporters behaved likewise against me in previous GEs, Guan Eng chose to keep mum. This shows his double standards.

It is lamentable that Guan Eng is only acting a performance and holds no intention whatsoever to abide by any code of ethics at all.
