Lim Guan Eng has come under fire for allegedly threatening to sue reporters if they publish a matter he deems sensitive.
Guan Eng’s action is ironic as he has “all along been for press freedom”.
Yet, he claimed that he would sue them if they wrote anything on the subject of his alleged affair with his curvy female ex-special officer nicknamed “Chai Hong” which means “Rainbow”. That story was carried by the blog “Stop The Lies”
The YouTube clip above features a man’s voice, believed to be Lim’s, speaking to reporters in an angry manner.
The man is heard saying: “I’m not going to even respond. I want you all to print first and you see what I do to your paper.”
How can he wear a yellow ribbon for press freedom and then behave like that? Posing such questions is the job of the press. If the media can’t ask questions, what are they there for? He can just answer yes or no without getting all riled up, right?
Guan Eng however speaks in a harsh tone, threatening reporters rather than giving a press conference. As Chief Minister, shouldn't he be prepared for tough or sensitive questions from reporters rather than get all defensive and threaten journalists who have a duty to ask questions. This is what democracy is all about.
However, it would appear that democracy for Pakatan fellows means that when it involves others, they will shout and scream for democracy but when it involves their own, they will threaten to sue or their godfathers will issue gag orders to stop their members from talking.
Remember this is the same Guan Eng who banned Utusan Malaysia from attending Penang State functions because he does not like what they write about him.

Dave,
Its good to highlight about this proverb "Cakap tak serupa bikin"..this LGE is a barking dog with no integrity. Its sad to have a leader when in power he thinks he can implement in a manner consistent with his purpose.
