Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 18.10.2011.
UMNO Should Act Against Those Trying To Wreck The Life Of My Young Son With Cruel And Barbaric Lies Just To Finish Me Off Politically To Prove That UMNO Is Not A 3D Party That Employs Desperate Dangerous And Dirty Tactics
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had declared during the Gerakan National Delegates Conference two days ago that BN had not given up on Penang and will go all out to recapture the state from Pakatan Rakyat. Following those Najib’s declaration of intent, we see pro-UMNO blogs and some UMNO leaders carrying out a serial campaign in the internet to systematically not only character assasinate me but also cruelly dragging in my young 16 year old son with their lies.
My wife and I are furious that pro-UMNO blogs and some UMNO leaders have made or perpetuated false allegations against my young son of criminal wrongdoing. My family and I deplore these lies and fabrications against my young son as morally despicable and barbaric. UMNO should act against those trying to wreck the life of my young son with cruel and barbaric lies just to finish me off politically to prove that UMNO is not a 3D party that employs desperate, dangerous and dirty tactics just to cling on and retain power at any cost.
My son had transferred to St Xavier Institution in Penang from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Cina Heng Yee because I had promised him that he could transfer to the school of his choice if he scored at least 6As in his PMR. When he achieved that, he was transferred at the beginning of the school term this year in January 2011. My son wanted to go to St Xavier because he did not want to have his hair crew-cut as is required for Heng Yee students but wanted to keep his hair longer.
In this modern world, it is difficult for a young kid growing up, especially so when his father is a Chief Minister targeted daily by the pro-BN media. For a young kid growing up, to be maligned in such a beastly and cruel fashion publicly is unacceptable and inhumane.
My son is very shaken up by these lies. He has also not gone back to school for two days. I feel sad and that I am not able to protect my young son from these pro-UMNO ferocious beasts.
I urge these ferocious pro-UMNO beasts not to prey on the innocence of my young children. If you want to finish me off, do your worst to me but leave my innocent children alone. UMNO politicians have children too and DAP have never gone for their children and do not intend to so.
Amongst some UMNO leaders who highligted this shameful episode in the blogs is Bukit Gelugor(Penang) UMNO Division vice-chairman Dr Novandri Hasan Basri. He was then followed by many UMNO leaders rehashing the lies. Sadly even UMNO Youth chief Khairy Jamaludin joined in these shameful lies by poking fun at my son with this tweet:-
@Khairykj Khairy Jamaluddin
@PapaGomo Mungkin dia roboh Kampung Buah Pala sebab nak ganti dengan Kampung Buah Dada.

I hope those poking fun and spreading lies at my young son can look at themselves in the mirror as a father and ask whether they want their own child to suffer the trauma of such lies. My family and I reserve the right to take any further action to protect my family. In the meantime, my wife and I will try to heal my young son and pray that he will recover from having his innocence so cruelly destroyed by these pro-UMNO beasts.
LIM GUAN ENG
Dear Mr Lim senior,
It was very unfortunate that this dirtiest possible politic trick has happened in Malaysia and it happen to a person closed to you, your grand son.
You and your son Guan Eng have been suffering much just because you all believe in bring betterment to Malaysian through tour participation of politic. You two have gone through all the hell in jails many many times and you two survived.
I believe at the dirtiest point in you and yours son political time you will go through it and coming out stronger.
I also believe that your grandson will go through it and become stronger ever.
Let guide your family members well as politic in your life has going the most difficult path as Guan Eng has become a CM that was envy of the political foe. They know very well it was not difficult to get Pakatan down in Penang in the near future, that why they have come out the dirties tactic or what ever they could be think off.
I also believe that it will be best for Betty no to contest in the next GE and be the family guidance of all time. Your family sacrifices was too much. It is better for her to devote her time to ensure your young grandchildren are protected from the political foes.
saudara lge, bertahanlah…biar depa yang mengelar diri mereka anak adam yang mulia di sisi Tuhannya dikelar lidahnya akibat berbohong jika mereka berbohong, dipanah api neraka dimulut depa bila tiba masanya menghadap Tuhan…bersabarlah, sememang sabar itu sebahagian dari iman…
These people have no morals, so don’t expect that they will play fair. To them, stealing from the public purse is not a crime, raping underaged girls is not a crime, transferring unexplained millions overseas is not a crime, hiring thugs to harm local villagers is not a crime. Remember that they do not know the meaning of the word “shame”. Forgive them, for they know not what they do.
My advice is to walk quietly, but carry a big stick.
I am sorry, Guan Eng. I thought you knew. Politics is dirty. UMNO politics is dirtier. A desperate, going to lose UMNO is crude, no class and very dirty. They will stop at nothing.
That is why,
We must change the tenant at Putrajaya. GE13 is our best chance. Failure is no an option. Let us all work very very hard.
BN stooges beware. This baptism of fire will turn LGE junior into another most formidable adversary. Who knows, if BN is not finished by dad and pop, he may just be the one to put the final nail into the coffin of BN.
Meantime, heartiest welcome to my Alma Mater SXI, LGE junior.
I wonder what’s wrong with this Umno? even their lies are all about sex, sex , sex and dirty sex, making funs out of female, what had happened to them? Or what happened to the community?
Kalau takde angin, masakan pokok bergoyang!
And the fact your press statement came out a lil’ bit too late give me impression that you are doing some damage control first.
If its true that these is all lies, the court is ever willing to prove your young son is indeed innocent! Do that, than i believe you!
Basically, UMNO/BN has caused Malaysia to be what it is today – a failed state. UMNO politicians like Novandri and Khairy are generally politically bankrupt, corrupt and immoral. Khairy, you have children too and the law of Karma will hit you back one day. You have to hit your political opponents below the belt because your father and father-in-law taught you this? Kurang ajar as they say!
/If its true that these is all lies, the court is ever willing to prove your young son is indeed innocent! Do that, than i believe you!/
Which court?Your m#th@r f&cK@r Kangaroo court??Tolong lah..jangan mengarut lagi.Bertaubat lah dan sembayang lah sebelum anda disembayangkan..baruah
Wah….now UMNO also can C-4 children as well!
UMNO hebat betul-lah! Podah.
LGE, be strong. GOD knows that you are a truthful and sincere man. lAlong this treacherous road, you are bound to meet such idiots who are lower than the lowest beast in the animal kingdom. But, take heed. A man like you, GOD will always be on your side. Eventually those satans will be defeated. As for your son, do tell him that he has plenty of supports from Penangites ! Ask him to go to school.
