'All these ex-ministers only talk when they are no longer in power. Typical. Just like former MCA president Ong Ka Ting. When still in government, they kept quiet so as to not offend their political master, Umno.'

Resist that 'foul word' called Malay supremacy

SunShine1: Lim Keng Yaik, you should have made this statement when you were in government or are you pretending that this ‘Ketuanan Melayu' only started to exist after you left office? Gerakan, you guys will reap what you sowed. Your demise is nigh.

Foo Wy Len: Lim Keng Yaik are you for real? For years, you were a minister but what did you do. Talk is easy, la .

Nedunchelian Vengu: Too late, my ex-minister. You mean you didn't know about ‘Ketuanan Melayu' when you were in power? The rice has already turned to porridge.

Suaram_Lame_Duck: What is new? Why so brave now? All these ex-ministers only open up and talk when they are no longer in power. Typical. Just like former MCA president and transport minister Ong Ka Ting. When still in government, they kept quiet so as to not offend their political master, Umno.

Teh: Lim should be a stand-up comedian. During his tenure as Gerakan president, he never spoke up against this ‘foul word'. Now he talks big. But even now, he has to say something nice about Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak. Just to balance up. Just in case, you know.

13th GE!: Lim Keng Yaik finally grew a pair but a little too late. When you were in power all was good in your eyes. Now when the people have spoken, you want to jump onto that bandwagon. At least, please be an original.

RR: Better late than never. Yes, there is no such thing as a superior race. In a multi-racial, multi-religious society, no single race - even if in the majority - should dominate the other races.

There must always be dharmic policies of justice, equality and meritocracy. This will lead the nation to greater progress and prosperity. Of course, those who are socially and economically disadvantaged must be given the crutches - but not forever as this will only put them in shame.

PM Najib has introduced a good concept of ‘1Malaysia'. He should walk the talk and so must all his Umno ministers.

Spokenthots: Finally, a component of BN has found its pair to say ‘no' to ‘Ketuanan Melayu'.

This call must be supported by all the other BN components to make the mainstay open its eyes in that the era of divisive politics is over with the ushering in of a more inclusive-type politics. Stand up and be counted, and this is required of all Malaysians who support democracy for all.

Cks: Lim, such a call as yours should be directed to your cabinet representative, meaning the ministers in charge for national KPIs. How could you expect the foot soldiers to declare ‘war' when their leader continues to maintain silence?

Ric: Lim only knows how to talk big in front of the press. Tell this to your protege, Koh Tsu Koon.

Brij Jayaram Kathiravelu: Koh Tsu Koon, please take a cue from your predecessor Lim Keng Yaik in stamping your mark as the president of Gerakan. It has been one week since your were questioned in Parliament over the issue of 'Ketuanan Melayu', and your reluctance and failure to address the issue is glaring.

By the way, your statement that the former residents of Kampung Buah Pala were behind the burning of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's poster at the BN Youth- organised demonstration last week at the Penang assembly is downright stupid.

It goes to show that despite a hammering at the ballot box on March 8, you have not changed much.

Habib RAK: Lim Keng Yaik says ‘...if MCA continues to perform badly, then the onus is on Gerakan to do its best in the coming polls'.

Thus, in Lim's mind, Gerakan is a substitute for MCA. He has not realised that Gerakan is not a race-based party for the Chinese like the MCA. This tells me that as much as Lim says he rejects racism, he himself has a racist mindset.

Thanabalan Gurusamy: Ha, ha, ha! Lim Keng Yaik seriously thinks that Gerakan is in a better position than MCA to perform better at the next general election. I like that. He still tickles me!

Tey Khang Fai: Put him (Lim Keng Yaik) behind bars first and see if anybody will bring him shark fin soup. Ask him to debate the matter openly, ask him to talk about it and you'll see he will be the first one to run away.
