This is the sort of candidate Pakatan is having, an ultra.
I wonder what the DAP will say about this PERKASA man being a Pakatan candidate and that, as a former Commissioner of EC, he acknowledged that the three redelineation exercises under his tenure were aimed at continuing Malay political dominance.
If Pakatan allows him to contest as a Pakatan candidate under its Blue Moon charter, then does Pakatan has any right to question the EC's re-delineation bullshit?
But I bet Lim Kit Siang will keep his mouth shut in exactly the same way as he has criticised MCA and Gerakan for aeons.
Pot calling kettle black, that's Lim Kit Siang.
What a f**king letdown that Pakatan has now gone to the dogs.
