No govt role? No damper on Kit Siang’s illustrious political path
GEORGE TOWN – As the second volume of DAP doyen Lim Kit Siang’s biography debuts, its Penang-born author Kee Thuan Chye points out a pertinent fact that, unlike his contemporaries, the 82-year old Lim retired without holding any major political post.
Kit Siang hails from the same era of struggle as the late Penang Chief Minister Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu.
He emerged into the national political consciousness at around the same time the late Lee Kuan Yew was consolidating his leadership on another island, Singapore, where he was the first prime minister.
Yet unlike both Chong Eu and Lee, the Johor-born DAP pioneer did not attain the honour of holding any government post, whether at the state or national level.
He was the power broker in DAP but there was no presence of him whatsoever in the formal corridors of government.
This contrasts with Chong Eu, who went on to etch his name in Penang’s history
