DAP chairperson Lim Kit Siang today expressed his outrage over the government-controlled Radio Television Malaysia's coverage on the opposition over the language switch controversy.

Lim demanded MCA and Gerakan ministers to explain why RTM was allowed to carry out "a most biased, unfair and distorted propaganda attack camouflaged as news" on the DAP and two education movements known as Dong Jiao Zong on its channel news programmes last night.

He said DAP had received widespread public complaints over the latest "abuse" of government resources and machinery by RTM.

According to Lim, the "blatant political propaganda" broadcast entitled "Dangers of Chauvinism Part I " was slipped into prime-time news in the various television language channels last night and Part II of the segment will be telecast in the various news programmes tonight.
