DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang has promised a "heavy price in court" for those behind the allegation that Israel offered the opposition party RM1.2 billion in exchange for a naval base in Port Dickson.
"Senior political leaders from other political parties who lied about the DAP, like the one who made the preposterous allegation about the DAP being offered RM1.2 billion in exchange for an Israeli naval base in Port Dickson, will have to pay the heavy price for such baseless and reckless allegations in the courts.
"I expect DAP lawyers to initiate legal proceedings in a day or two," he said at a political dinner function last night.
Lim described the allegation, where the money was given to DAP to fight the 2013 general election in return for Israel to build a military base in Port Dickson should it win power, as "political desperation".
The allegation was made by PAS research centre director Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki but Lim did not name names or mention DAP’s former ally.
Instead, Lim went on to lament PAS without its spiritual leader, Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.
"We all miss the leadership and guidance of Tok Guru Nik Aziz... for if he is still with us today, his voice would be heard loud and clear denouncing the rampant corruption, widespread injustices and abuses of power as represented by Najib’s RM2.6 billion donation and RM55 billion 1MDB twin mega scandals and calling for national reform," said Lim.
Lim also slammed PM Najib Razak's New Year message where he declared an end to the twin scandals following the sale of 1MDB assets to Chinese companies, describing it as another act of political desperation.
"What beggars the imagination is how Najib could make such an outrageous claim when he himself could not possibly believe it, unless he has left the real world of politics and entered the world of make-believe," said Lim.
