| 2002-03-18 | Ketari III: Elections Commission makes a faux pas The Gerakan president, Dato' Seri Lim Kheng Yaik, meanwhile,
insists all outstanding issues in the constituency but for "one
or two" have been resolved, and says the party is ready to nail
DAP's lies. What are the issues? He expects the DAP to ask
about Vision Schools, SJK (C) Damansara school, the Islamic
state, and the Employees' Provident Fund's (EPF) low returns.
That is a start. Could he tell us what his party's view on these
issues are. The Gerakan is in the governing National Front (BN).
The non-Malay parties in it have no point of view when Dr
Mahathir unconstitutionally declared Malaysia an Islamic state.
But is up in arms when the DAP has an electoral link with the
theocratic PAS. What is sauce for the goose is, in his view, not
for the gander. I have tried for months, without luck, to
discover the MCA's and the Gerakan's views on what Dr Lim says
would be issues in the election. Could he at least tell us what
his party's views are, at a press conference or during a ceremah
during the campaign?
