Lim Guan Eng yang saya kenali

ULASAN l “Komunis, bersekongkol dengan negara asing dan mencabul hak Melayu.” Keseluruhan ayat ini terdengar seperti karya fiksyen: momokan Melayu paling utama. Ini adalah dongeng yang diturunkan dari satu generasi ke satu generasi dan saya adalah seorang daripada mereka yang terpesona dengan kisah seperti itu pada usia muda. Cerita mengenai seorang ahli politik dari DAP. Cerita mengenai Lim Guan Eng. Ketika saya mula berkhidmat dengan kerajaan ketika itu yang dipimpin oleh Najib Razak, saya melihat Lim Guan Eng, yang popular dikenali sebagai LGE, dari jauh sebagai seseorang yang harus saya waspada, seseorang yang, jika orang Melayu tidak berhati-hati, akan menggigit hak … Continue reading Lim Guan Eng yang saya kenali

Unmasking the moderate Malay mind, and putting Malaysia first
