ALOR SETAR: DAP and Lim Kit Siang are willing to work with anyone, including former rivals like PAS and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, for the sake of political expediency, said Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai (pic).

"At one point, Kit Siang and DAP attacked Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad over the forex issue and now they are in full support of Dr Mahathir," said Liow, adding that Lim should stand by what he has said in the past.

The MCA president added that DAP and Lim should stop flip-flopping in the statements they make, especially in calling for the country to be more moderate.

Liow said in fact, DAP were part of the reason for "Talibanism" in Malaysia as it had worked with PAS and helped the Islamist party improve its footing.

He was speaking after officiating the 2017 Kedah MCA annual general meeting here on Saturday.

MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong, who was also present, questioned Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng over the state's flood problem.

"Guan Eng makes and denies statements according to his advantages. If something is not to his advantage, he will deny in total," he said.
