“To win Putrajaya, we have to win in as many parliamentary seats as we can, including in those where the MP is a senior minister. In Teluk Intan, the MP is a minister in the Prime Minister’s Department.
“Although this minister is useless, he is still a minister. So to defeat him, we must field a capable leader. We must field a candidate whom we DAP can nominate and appoint as a minister in a Harapan government,” Lim said in his announcement that was attended by thousands of people.
So, according to Lim Guan Eng, it has to take a Pakatan 'capable' leader to defeat a BN useless minister?
Perak DAP chief Nga Kor Ming has been named as Pakatan Harapan’s candidate for the Teluk Intan parliamentary seat, setting the stage for a potential showdown with Gerakan president Mah Siew Keong.
The announcement was made by Penang caretaker chief minister and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng in Bandar Baru Teluk Intan tonight.
Lim said if Nga wins and Pakatan takes over power in Putrajaya, he will be appointed a federal minister. [...]
I didn't realise Lim Guan Eng (when in Pakatan's new government after GE14) will possess such powerful authority to appoint anyone a minister?

Thus, by Guan Eng's logic, does that mean a useless BN minister is better than a normal Pakatan leader, and that by further logical sequence, a normal BN minister is far superior to a Pakatan 'capable' leader?
Hmmm, was Guan Eng smoking"something" when he said that?
But he most certainly needs a better speech writer.
