COMMENT At least, we now know thanks to DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng that "PAS has never killed a single Chinese. This is a fact." The implication being that Umno has? Is this a "fact", too? So, the Chinese have nothing to worry about.

And by the by, no need to worry about that syariah law that PAS seems so keen about; hudud does not kill people, people do.

If you really are multiracial party, wouldn't it be accurate (as a nod to your non-Chinese members) to argue that "PAS has never killed a single Malaysian" (To the best of my knowledge they did not kill A Kugan, Amirulrashid Amzah and Ahmad Sarbani, just to name a few) and does the DAP really think that the murder of Teoh Beng Hock was racially motivated instead of politically motivated?

Don't get me wrong, from what I've heard and read, Lim did make the appropriate noises when it came to the inclusiveness of his party but the reality is what the Chinese want, what they really, really want, is a Chinese party who will champion their community. Most times all this "justice and fairness" talk seems more like a fait accompli...
