Just give the man a break la. I mean, you force him to quit your stupid party by giving him a show cause letter and now, you call him an opportunist. What a load of horse manure!
And that old man has the nerve to be angry. Woi, why don't you go back to whatever hellhole you came from and jaga cucu instead of butting your nose where it's not needed?

Angry Keng Yaik calls Kah Choon an opportunist
Andrew Ong | Apr 24, 08 2:16pm
Former Gerakan president Dr Lim Keng Yaik has criticised former protegé Lee Kah Choon for lacking principles by seeking greener pastures with the new Penang Pakatan Rakyat government.
“This young man (Lee) is not willing to struggle anymore. He is trying to take short cuts. Don’t tell me he is not in active politics anymore. He is still very much in it, but now, with a DAP agenda,” he said.
Speaking during a press conference after addressing a forum in Kuala Lumpur today, Keng Yaik dismissed suggestions that Lee’s resignation was a loss for the party.
“No. The sooner you can see the (real) face the better. No principles. No spirit of struggle and wants to take the easy way out,” said Keng Yaik.
Describing himself as a “disappointed and angry old man” over the matter, Keng Yaik said he shouldered the blame for grooming Lee as a prominent leader in the party.
“I’m disappointed and angry because he was picked by me. (Acting Gerakan president Dr Koh) Tsu Koon should not be blamed,” he said.
Lee left the party yesterday following the party’s decision to issue him a show-cause letter for accepting Pakatan’s’ offer to helm InvestPenang and Penang Development Corporation.
Previously, Lee had quit all his party posts, including that of deputy secretary-general, in view of the party’s disastrous performance in Penang in the March 8 polls.
Guan Eng cunning
Keng Yaik said Lee’s appointment to the two posts were glaring examples of how the Pakatan state government lacked capable leaders to run the state.
He described efforts by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng to rope in Lee as a form of “poaching” which he also repeatedly described as “froggy politics”.
“And Guan Eng has the gall to say that this is a ‘new era’ of politics. My foot! He is a far more cunning politician than his father or Karpal Singh.
“I don‘t think his father or Karpal would approve of (Guan Eng‘s) effort. This was the kind of things (crossing over) they were shouting (in protest against) when we were in power,” said Keng Yaik.
Incidently, it was reported in the New Straits Times yesterday that Karpal had voiced disapproval of Guan Eng for offering the posts to Lee and that the move was “just not sound”.
And hurray to CM Lim Guan Eng for his ultra cool response to all this shitty shenanigans by the soreloser BN fellas. News also from Malaysiakini:
Penang CM unperturbed by uproar over Lee's appointment
Soon Li Tsin | Apr 24, 08 2:32pm
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng today said he had not anticipated any controversy in offering former Gerakan top leader Lee Kah Choon a position to lead the state’s investment agencies.
He added that the Barisan Nasional leaders, including the prime minister and several Gerakan leaders, were acting like sour grapes by objecting to Lee’s decision to take up the appointment as director in the Penang Development Corporation (PDC) and InvestPenang on Monday.
Lim, also the DAP secretary general, said that he was not perturbed by these objections, some of which came from within his own party, and will continue to keep welcoming people who share similar philosophy with the state government.
He also said that he never asked Lee to leave Gerakan in order to take up the appointment.
Yesterday Lee said that he was quitting Gerakan as it emerged that the party was contemplating action against him for working with the Pakatan Rakyat state government.
He had previously resigned from all party posts after Gerakan’s annihilation in Penang at the hands of the opposition in the March 8 general election.
