From Terence Netto
Just as victory has a thousand fathers and defeat is an orphan, lies have a myriad of manufacturers while truth is a waif.
Is DAP’s just-retired leader Lim Kit Siang a Malay-phobe? His critics have not been able to produce a shred of evidence of this. But a lack of evidence hasn’t stopped his detractors from keeping up, over the years, their tirades that he is anti-Malay, anti-Islam and anti-royal.
Never mind if this barrage was sustained by detractors from the nether regions of the political spectrum.
But when vitriol is spewed by people who are from the upper crust of society, it’s a troubling reminder that democratic freedoms are not an unalloyed good.
