DAP Playing Racial Card?

clipped from jedyoong.wordpress.com Haris Ibrahim accuses DAP of playing ‘race card’ December 23, 2007 I was shocked and gravely disappointed to see and hear DAP leaders at the forum play and manipulate the race card by harping on the issue of marginalised Indians simply because the audience in the hall was almost 80% Indians. I was most disheartened when I heard Kula refer to the Indians in the audience as his ‘countrymen’. Kula, am I not your countryman? Were the non-Indians in the audience not your countrymen? Were we not there to discuss the likelihood of a second Ops Lalang? Or was this staged just to enable DAP to draw an Indian audience? If UMNO and BN are using the Hindraf rally and the aftermath to stir up Malay sentiment for their own political mileage, DAP demonstrated last Friday that they are not averse to use the same to play the race card, albeit slanted differently. I have had enough of race-based politics, whether BN or opposition led.
