Kit Siang declines DAP ‘mentor’ post
PETALING JAYA: DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang has turned down being the “mentor” for the party he founded more than 50 years ago, reiterating that he was retiring from the party leadership.
In a speech during a dinner with DAP leaders and MPs last night, Lim said he will continue giving the party’s new leadership his full support, adding that this had been conveyed to secretary-general Loke Siew Fook a few days earlier.
He also noted that he could not retire from politics as a whole as long as he lived, “for politics impinges on every aspect of one’s life”.
