Kit Siang: Pakatan Harapan must not be seen on a path of revenge

PETALING JAYA: The Pakatan Harapan Government must not be perceived by the public as embarking on a path of revenge as it seeks to expel top executives from government-linked companies (GLCs) and the civil service, DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang said. 

“It has been said that before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves – one for the victim, and one for yourselves. This is a warning not to embark on a path of  revenge as you can kill the other but you will end up also killing yourself," said Lim.

“Pakatan cannot be seen or perceived to be embarking on any  journey of vengeance or vindictiveness embraced and practised by the Barisan Nasional government,” he added in a statement on Monday (July 2). 

Lim said that there are also many people in the civil service and GLCs who are honest and dedicated to their work. 

“Lines must be drawn clearly so that the Pakatan Harapan Government is incapable of being suspected of embarking on a journey down the slippery slope of a whole-scale witch-hunt,” he said.

“We cannot tar everyone with the same brush,” he added.
