Is DAP now welcoming extremist Malay-centric leaders and Perkasa ?

It is interesting to note that Exco member in the DAP-helmed Penang state government Dr. Afif Bahardin  has welcomed former Perkasa Youth chief Irwan Fahmi Ideris to join DAP’s Pakatan Harapan together with 35 Perkasa Youth executive council members and ordinary members.  

Interestingly, since the Malay centric leaders of Tun Dr. Mahathir and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin have formed Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) to join DAP in Pakatan Harapan, DAP has been silent on Perkasa’s travesty of the Malay special position or distorted perception on educational issues like the recent declaration of “war” against the BN federal government if the Unified Examinations Certificate (UEC) is being recognised. It is regrettable to note that DAP and the normally outspoken Lim Kit Siang had not reprimanded Perkasa President Dato’ Ibrahim Ali then.

It is also noteworthy to hear the former Perkasa Youth Chief Irwan Fahmi’s admission that it has been Perkasa’s intention to bring Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak's downfall for his perceived failure to uphold the special position of the Malays and others. This has prompted him to join Pakatan Harapan in his belief that Pakatan Harapan will uphold Malay-centric rights and issues better under Tun Dr Mahathir than the current Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak.

Thus, we are now witnessing Pakatan Harapan attracting Malay-centric and extremist elements like beehives. Is DAP going to be responsible for empowering Perkasa later the way they have empowered PAS before?

What is DAP’s Lim Kit Siang or his son Secretary General Lim Guan Eng’s comments or stand on this? What is DAP’s take on this recent trend of elements of Malay-centric and extremism joining Pakatan?

Is DAP going to work with Perkasa the way it had worked with PAS solely in the interest of their political agenda and greed for more political powe ? Will DAP put their foot down and say “No” to extremists like Perkasa?

No wonder the normally outspoken DAP Supremo Lim Kit Siang have been stricken with guilty conscience by playing “The Sound of Silence.“
