DAP, Dyana's Pic and Double Standards

The MCA has called out the DAP for practicing double standards for keeping mum over a photograph of the latter’s by-election with Datuk Ibrahim Ali.

This especially so after the DAP took MCA vice-president Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun to task after a photograph of her appearing with the controversial president of the right wing Malay group surfaced during the Kajang by-election of which she contested in.

Chew, according to the party’s Youth National chairman Chong Sin Woon, was then subjected to a “torrent of malicious and erroneous criticism of being in cahoots with Perkasa”.

”Obviously, DAP has a different set of standard in dealing with Perkasa when its own candidate is an acquaintance of Ibrahim,” Chong said in a statement, alluding to Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud.

A picture of Dyana standing next to Ibrahim has been making rounds on the Internet of which some quarters questioned in relation to the difference in Perkasa’s ideologies and that of the DAP’s.

The 27-year-old has since stated that she has never had any problems with Perkasa championing Malay rights but opposed the group’s extremism.

Chong went on to urge Pakatan Rakyat’s Lim Guan Eng, Nga Kor Ming and Elizabeth Wong — whom he claimed showed “no mercy” in attacking Chew during the Kajang by-election over the photograph — to apologise to Chew and the voter for their action if they held on to principles of fairness and justice.

Otherwise, he said, Dyana should face the same treatment from them “for being in cahoots with Perkasa”.
“The statement which was used on Chew, Lim should likewise use it on Dyana too. If Dyana could state her stand that she has nothing to do with Perkasa, then she should make a clean break from Perkasa.

“Otherwise she should just admit her relationship with Perkasa and perhaps she could still earn some respect for being honest,” Chong said.
