Lim Guan Eng hits PAS over failure to credit him for cutting lottery draws from 22 to eight a year

Malaysian DAP adviser Lim Guan Eng has criticized PAS for its alleged dishonest and hypocritical statements regarding DAP’s stance on Islam. In a Facebook post, Lim emphasized that PAS had failed to recognize his role as the first finance minister to decrease the number of special lottery draws from 22 to eight per year while DAP was in power from 2018 to 2020.
Lim argued that PAS had increased the special draws back to 22 in 2020 when the BN/PN coalition took over, and they remained at that level until the administration ended in late 2022. He questioned PAS’s repeated claims of DAP leaders opposing Islam, stating it was not necessary for PAS to praise him for the policy, but he found their slander of DAP leaders as being against Islam puzzling.
Lim invited the public to decide if PAS’ two-faced game violates its own principles and constitutes hypocrisy.
