KLANG: DAP central committee member and Selangor State Assembly Speaker Teng Chang Khim says he is “too small” for his comments to be dignified by party chairman Karpal Singh.

“He is an almighty in the party, I’m only a small fry. Would I even dare to assume that he would dignify my comments?” asked Teng.

“He is right in saying that he will not dignify my comments,” he added.

Yesterday, DAP chairman and Bukit Gelugor MP Karpal Singh was quoted as saying that he would not dignify comments made by Teng that he (Karpal Singh) lacked political wisdom in issues involving the royalty.

On being condemned by party leaders for criticising Karpal Singh and failing to turn up at an emergency meeting on Monday night to explain himself, Teng said an emergency meeting was meant to address particular agendas unlike a normal meeting.

“I was not sure what was discussed in the meeting or whether it was about Karpal Singh.”

Teng said he could not attend the meeting because he had to attend two functions in Klang.

In another development, newly sworn-in Kota Alam state assemblyman M. Manoharan missed his chance to voice a question in the state assembly this month.

Teng said this was because Manoharan was not sworn in before the April 28 deadline for assemblymen to submit their questions to the House.

TENG heading for "trouble"

Looks like Teng is going to get into "trouble" with the party leadership especially with Karpal-Lims & Co. I guess his future in the party is at stake. I am sure he knows better.

This is DAP leadership, "fighting" for democracy, but no democracy within the party itself. More dictatorial than any other party in Malaysia. Just study its history, and you'll understand it.

Only God is the Almighty

Kapal has said his peace; Teng has also said his peace.

Only God is the Almighty, not anyone of them, nor anyone else among man. Only God is able to judge either and both of them.

Both are right in whatever they had said. Probably both of their opinions when added together provide for the equalising factor - to bring forth a more moderate DAP.

Thank you.
