UMNO tuduh Guan Eng penyebab rusuhan 13th Mei 1969, tapi masa itu Guan Eng baru berumur 8 tahun...

Penasihat DAP Lim Kit Siang hari ini menafikan dakwaan Utusan Malaysia bahawa beliau pernah berkhidmat sebagai setiausaha akhbar kepada bekas perdana menteri Singapura Lim Kuan Yew.

Dalam satu kenyataan akhbar hari ini, Lim menyifatkan dakwaan itu sebagai satu pembohongan dan beliau tidak pernah terlibat dengan parti PAP ketika beliau menjadi wartawan di Singapura pada awal 1960-an.

Lim bagaimanapun menjelaskan bahawa beliau pernah bekerja "untuk satu tempoh" di bahagian akhbar di Kementerian Kebudayaan Singapura dan pernah menjadi setiausaha agung kesatuan wartawan negara itu.

Beliau mengulas tulisan di pojok pengarang akhbar edisi hujung minggu Utusan Malaysia hari ini.

Dalam tulisan Awang Selamat – dipercayai sebagai kakitangan kanan dalam redaksi Utusan – akhbar itu mendakwa bahawa Singapura menggunakan DAP sebagai proksi untuk mencapai cita-citanya untuk Semenanjung Malaysia.

Tanpa menjelaskan dakwaan itu, Awang Selamat seterusnya mendakwa Lee bercita-cita untuk membina hubungan dengan kerajaan Pulau Pinang selepas Pakatan Rakyat mengambil alih pentadbiran negeri itu.

Lim berkata, serangan ke atasnya hari ini merupakan kesan daripada kempen yang ditingkatkan untuk memburuk-burukkan DAP dan Pakatan kerana Umno tidak yakin untuk berdepan dengan pilihan raya umum.

Cybertroopers UMNO yang bangang

Kit Siang  juga menyatakan bahawa terdapat  tuduhan-tuduhan yang luar biasa terhadapnya tersebar luas  di Internet, angkara “cybertroopers” UMNO.

Antara tuduhan itu  ialah Kit Siang berada di Kuala Lumpur pada 13 Mei, 1969 menghasut agar adanya satu rusuhan kaum.

“Sebenarnya, saya  tidak pernah di Kuala Lumpur pada 10 Mei, 11, 12 dan 13, 1969, dan ini boleh disahkan oleh media ketika itu dan rekod2 polis”,kata Kit Siang.

Katanya lagi, dia bertanding  kerusi Parlimen Bandar Melaka dan pada pagi yang malang  itu semasa rusuhan berlaku, dia berada dalam  kapal terbang  menuju ke Kota Kinabalu untuk membantu kempen di sana.

Pilihan raya di Sabah ditangguhkan untuk dua minggu selepas pilihan raya  di Semenanjung Malaysia  berakhir.

Kit Siang kata tuduhan yang paling bangang sekali dibuat oleh “cybertroopers” UMNO ini adalah menuduh anaknya Lim Guan Eng ,merangkap Setiausaha Agung DAP, sebagai salah seorang penyebab berlakunya rusuhan Mei 13 1969.

Kit Siang denies links with Kuan Yew...

 DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang has rubbished Utusan Malaysia’s claim that he had once served as a press secretary to former Singaporean prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.

In a press release today, Kit Siang described the allegations as “downright lies”, pointing out that he was never involved with the PAP during his stint as a reporter in Singapore during the early 1960s.

Kit Siang clarified that he had worked “for a period” in the press section of Singapore’s Culture Ministry and was once the secretary-general of Singapore’s National Union of Journalist.

“Utusan Malaysia is living up to its reputation as ‘lies-paper’,” said Kit Siang, referring to the Bisik-bisik column that appeared in Mingguan Malaysia, Utusan’s Sunday edition.

Written by the mysterious Awang Selamat, widely believed to be a pen name for Utusan’s senior editorial staff, the article claimed that Singapore will use DAP as a proxy to achieve its ambitions for Peninsula Malaysia.

Awang Selamat never detailed what these ambitions are, but said Lee’s efforts to build ties with the Penang government, after Pakatan Rakyat had taken over the state administration, signals Singapore’s goal of dethroning BN.

Kit Siang said that the attack against him today was the result of an intensified campaign to demonise the DAP and Pakatan because Umno was not confident about the upcoming general election. 


Umno cybertroopers are worse

He also noted that there are even more outrageous allegations against him that have surfaced on the Internet, which he blamed on Umno “cybertroopers”.

Among the allegations was that Kit Siang was in Kuala Lumpur on May 13, 1969 instigating a race riot.

“In actual fact, I was never in Kuala Lumpur on May 10, 11, 12 and 13, 1969, something which could be easily verified in the media at the time and by the police records,” said Kit Siang.

He said that he was standing for the parliamentary seat of Bandar Melaka and on the morning of the day where the riot broke, he had boarded a plane to Kota Kinabalu to help campaigning there.

The election in Sabah was delayed for two weeks after the election in peninsula Malaysia had concluded.

Kit Siang said that an “even more monstrous” allegation made by these cybertroopers accuses his son Guan Eng, the currentl DAP secretary-general, of having a hand in the May 13 riots.

He pointed out that at the time, Guan Eng was only eight years old.- malaysiakini
