KUALA LUMPUR: All parties in Pakatan Harapan (PH) have been told to focus on achieving the goals of the New Malaysia.

Johor DAP chairman Liew Chin Tong said DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang’s statement that the party would leave PH if it did not achieve its objectives of the New Malaysia should be viewed from a wider perspective.

Chin Tong, who is also Deputy Defence Minister, said coalition members need to read Lim’s statement in full.

“The statement means all parties in PH including DAP have a mission to realise the New Malaysia and I think that should be the main focus to be orchestrated together.

“The original goal of the struggle is to steer Malaysia in a better direction,” he told a press conference after attending the annual passing-out parade and prize presentation ceremony of the Royal Military College (MTD) here yesterday.

He said the involvement of PH party members in politics was not for the sake of positions in the government but to build a better Malaysia.

The parade was held to honour and recognise the success of 251 Form 5 students who completed their two-year study at MTD.

Last Thursday, Kit Siang wrote in his blog, commenting on businessman Clement Hii, who had expressed  concern that the public might see DAP as just another MCA if it did not seek to implement changes.

Meanwhile, responding to a question on his involvement with the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (Iseas) in Singapore which is rumoured to be an intelligence arm of the republic, Chin Tong said he was the institute’s visiting Research Fellow since 2006.

He said he had been conducting studies on PAS and the internal political issues related to Muslims in the country and that he had produced articles that were published in books and journals which also could be accessed on his blog. – Bernama
