What is the meaning of this?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It means that the democratic parliamentary system and the  constitutional monarchy which we have been practising thus far no longer  suit their interest to seize power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But this is a downright lie as no DAP leader had ever made such a statement.<\/p>\n<p>I challenge Muhyiddin to substantiate his speech and declare which  DAP leader, who, where and when such a statement wanting \u201cthe Prime  Minister&#8217;s position to be selected based solely on elections and without  being chosen by the Yang di Pertuan Agong\u201d was made.<\/p>\n<p>If Muhyiddin is unable to substantiate his irresponsible and reckless  allegation at the UMNO General Assembly against the DAP for wanting to  set up a republic, then he should apologise and retract it or he would  be exposed as a liar of the first order.<\/p>\n<p>DAP was made the \u201cwhipping boy\u201d at the UMNO General Assembly with  UMNO leaders and delegates hurling all sorts of groundless and even  seditious allegations and lies against the DAP \u2013 that the DAP is  anti-Malay, anti-Islam, anti-Malay Rulers and \u201cagents of  Christianisation\u201d to bring about a \u201cChristian Malaysia\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This only shows how desperate UMNO leaders and delegates have become  because they know that time is running out for them with the approach of  the 13<sup>th<\/sup> General Elections.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister and UMNO President Datuk Seri Najib Razak has  often said that UMNO must change or UMNO will be changed. The speeches  of UMNO leaders and delegates at the recent UMNO General Assembly have  shown that UMNO is incapable of change on its own and that it must be  changed by the voters by giving UMNO an opportunity to play the role of a  loyal and responsible Opposition in the Federal Parliament after the  next general elections.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.limkitsiang.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\"><em>*** Speech (2) by Lim Kit Siang at the Pakatan Rakyat national rally at Stadium Melawati, Shah Alam on Sunday, 4<sup>th<\/sup> December 2011 at 10.30 pm, <\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\">Lim Kit Siang, DAP Parliamentary Leader &amp; MP for Ipoh TimorTimor<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; substantiate his UMNO General Assembly speech that DAP wants to set up a Republic or apologise for the lie I challenge Deputy Prime Minister and UMNO Deputy President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to substantiate his UMNO General Assembly speech that DAP wants to abolish the system of Malay sultanates and set up a republic [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"better_featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/buletinonlines.net\/v7\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7720"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/buletinonlines.net\/v7\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/buletinonlines.net\/v7\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buletinonlines.net\/v7\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buletinonlines.net\/v7\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/buletinonlines.net\/v7\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7720\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/buletinonlines.net\/v7\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buletinonlines.net\/v7\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buletinonlines.net\/v7\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
