Tan Seng Giaw’s silence is so deafening

RAJA SARA RAJA PETRA

For the last one week the internet has been abuzz with talk about DAP cheating in its 15th December 2012 party election. In April 2013, the Registrar of Societies (RoS) issued a letter saying that it does not recognise DAP’s party congress due to the many complaints it received alleging fraud.

The weird thing is, that was all the RoS did. After that the RoS went into sleep mode. Is that all the RoS is for? Does the RoS need not do more than that?

Equally weird is the deafening silence from Tan Seng Giaw (and the other DAP leaders mentioned such as Lim Kit Siang, Anthony Loke and Vincent Wu). Does Seng Giaw’s silence mean he agrees with the allegation that the fraud was aimed at killing him off?

If such allegations had been made against others, by now DAP leaders would be jumping up and down like their pants were on fire. Does DAP think they can just ignore the allegation and the matter will go away?

The onus is now on the RoS to say that the allegation is false. If not then we must assume it is true against the backdrop of their April 2013 letter.
