KUALA LUMPUR: DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang’s recent offer to retire from politics in order to save his party was a mere diversion from his “undemocratic power grab”. The Prime Minister’s press secretary Datuk Seri Tengku Sariffuddin Tengku Ahmad claimed that Lim’s offer was simply a desperate attempt to win sympathy, a tactic which the latter had always employed when he failed “to get his way”. K‎it Siang’s so-called offer to retire is just a desperate attempt to win sympathy‎. However, Tengku Sariffuddin pointed out that it was only Lim and his fellow party leaders who had been talking about the deregistration. “It is time for Kit Siang to retir‎e‎ from his half-century long ‎dictatorship,” Tengku Sariffuddin added.
