BN uses Lee Kuan Yew as tactic to smear PAS:

By Adib Zalkapli

KUALA KRAI, July 14 – Less than 12 hours before polling begins in this rural constituency, Barisan Nasional (BN) put up banners showing picture of Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat shaking hands with Lee Kuan Yew in an attempt to drive the Malay voters away from the Kelantan Mentri Besar.

The banners showing pictures from the Singapore Minister Mentor’s recent visit to the state were only put up yesterday evening.

It also carries a message in the Kelantanese dialect criticising Nik Aziz for preferring to listen to Lee but not Umno.

The Umno banner highlighting Nik Aziz's warm welcome for Singapore's Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew.

“Why does he like him, but refuse to listen to Umno,” reads the message referring to the PAS spiritual adviser meeting with Lee and Nik Aziz continuous rejection to attempts to work closer with Umno.

Nik Aziz has been the strongest critic of the unity government proposal which resulted in attacks from Umno leaders who have been promoting Malay unity.

Another banner ridiculing PAS’s close relationship with DAP was also seen around the Manek Urai constituency where more than 90 per cent of some 12,000 voters are Malays.

According to the information at the bottom of the banner, it was published by the Kelantan BN headquarters.

The Singapore founding father visited Kelantan early last month as part of his one week working visit to Malaysia.

In his meeting with Nik Aziz, Lee reportedly asked the former how PAS would treat its neighbours in particular Singapore if the Islamist party takes over the government.

While Nik Aziz was reported as praising Singapore’s success in eradicating corruption in the city state, describing the move as Islamic.

During his visit Lee also met with PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, to whom he directed about PAS’s foreign policy.

"Umno sponsored and paid MM for the trip to kelantan" - to meet with PAS Nik Aziz ?

It is more likely that MM is like you - with nothing better left to do after sleepless night and is poking his nose to stir up an hornet's nest in Politics.

Lee inspects Penang toilets, Kelantan cleanliness

Lee is concerned about cleanliness in Kelantan. New Straits Times:

On Lee’s visit, Nik Aziz said besides political issues, they also discussed cleanliness in the state.

“Lee told me that he was satisfied with the cleanliness level in the state especially in Kota Baru.

“He had read in local newspapers which stated that Kota Baru town is dirty.”

Furtive run-ins in the toilet in Penang. The Star:

SINGAPORE Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s first “meeting” actually took place in the washroom prior to their official meeting at Komtar, all Chinese dailies reported yesterday.

The encounter was a coincidence, Sin Chew daily said.

And a defensive reaction to Lee’s observations about Penang’s lack of infrastructure. The Star:

Singapore Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew had been too quick to judge Penang when he was there only for a day, said Gerakan deputy president Datuk Chang Ko Youn.

He was asked to comment on Lee’s view that the infrastructure in Penang was inferior compared to that in Ipoh and Seremban.

“I think it is too easy for him to pass judgement. You were just there for one day, how much do you know?” Chang added.

Aiya, Uncle Chia,

If only the fallen angel had learnt to respond to good advice and take a long sleep after a long night and closing the father's Bar - and not wake up until it is time to start work, then she will not be calling "the wrong uncle to be her Mentor".

Surely without the customers to keep you girls happy, and your cash register ringing, you should be having an easy night ?

Why the daily morning need to empty your bowels in this Speaker's Corner in your usual irrelevant and flippant manner - polluting this place with your incontinence ?

I never knew Lee Kuan Yew has such a rotton image among malays in Malaysia, rotton until UMNO thinks that by just placing Lee Kuan Yew with a malay opposition member, he can sink that guy's campaign.

A scumbag to the end, Lee Kuan Yew.

My Dad told me, his earlier theory on asking only elite and educated ones to give more babies and the those uneducated and poor to give birth less or dun give birth to babies at all indirectly insulted the Malay peoples here. Malays are very tolerable peoples and they can hold grudges for a long time, they have patient, and now is the time to strike back at him.

Unfortunately, the Malaysian Malays have a love-hate relationship with LKY.

As much as they want to have a leader like LKY, they also hated the manner in which he conducts politics.

This can be seen in the manner in which they treated their ex-PM Dr M. Mahathir, who was as unscrupulous as any season politician with more then 40 years of politicking.

At the end of his term, Dr M Mahathir was despised by as many members of UMNO, as there were those who will respect him but will not go against the tide to defend him.

Your Dad told you "his earlier theory" ?

How did your Dad's earlier theory affected the Malay here, when the Malays referred to in this thread are the Malays in Malaysia ?

Then again - are you referring to the Singapore Malays ?

How did you managed to veer so much off-course in a new direction ?

Did the Singapore Malays feel insulted and are they hitting back at your Dad now ?

Yes, Malays are very tolerable people(s??) and they can hold grudges for a long time - then again, which people(s??) on earth are as less forgiving and will not hold grudges for as long a time as the Malays ?

The Malays have "patient" ?

They will certainly have the 'patience' to wait for you to become their "patient" and will very "patiently" help you to see them in a better light.
