Gerakan has called DAP Teluk Intan candidate Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud a liar, for flip-flopping on her mother’s membership in Perkasa.
"One word, she is a liar," said Gerakan secretary-general Liang Teck Ming.
She flip-flops, her position is is not consistent, just like her party," Gerakan deputy president Cheah Soon Ha said.
He also asserted that it now turned out Dyana had also helped register members for Perkasa.
She was also wrong when she said she joined the party only after former DAP vice- chairperson Tunku Abdul Aziz Ibrahim left, he said.
"From this few instances you can see, that her credibility is at stake, she needs to answer to the public," continued Cheah.
Empty manifesto
Meanwhile, Liang also complained that Dyana's manifesto released today carried no content. "Generally, I see this as an empty manifesto," he said.
"If she says she wants to strengthen facilities for the youth, where's allocation coming from? Only when BN asks will there be allocation for development," Liang said.
He further said DAP's manifesto has copied Gerakan's which was released a day earlier and also on youth issues.
Liang also clarified a report carried by Malaysiakini that BN candidate Mah Siew Keong had claimed he shouldn't be held responsible for development promises made by ministers during the election campaign.
What the candidate had said was that he was not at the function where ministers had made promises, so he had urged the reporters to ask the relevant ministers, he held.
"That doesn't mean that he would not be responsible for the ministers' promises. While I am satisfied with all media reports, I hope all can act professionally, ethically, and don't spin," he added.
Earlier, Mah said he shouldn't be held responsible for something which could cause him to be disqualified as a candidate.
"The media asked me (yesterday), about some minister promising uniforms and whether that could disqualify me as a candidate," he said.
"But that is a decision made in his work as a minister, so why do you want to put it to me that I am giving out things?" he asked.
