Open burning of effigies only adds to the haze – MCA

The Red Shirts have no idea of environment hazard, chides MCA. Burning effigies in the open aggravates the haze, Ti Lian Ker, the party’s Religious Harmony Bureau chairman admonishes the Umno Kota Bharu pyromaniacs.

Lucky they only set ablaze two – Grandpapa and Papa Dapster – and not three effigies (as Mama was overlooked) or else there would have been more smoke. Furthermore the incineration of Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng and Hannah Yeoh, even if only in effigy-form, emits really toxic fumes.

DAP’s dirty and destructive politics

Umno Kota Bharu yesterday enacted “the Taoist rites of effigy-burning and setting up of an altar, complete with joss sticks and fruit offerings”. Lim Kit Siang, who was the object of the mock funeral (see below), was not amused.

Grandpapa Dapster Lim Sr is right to rebuke Umno for misrepresentation. It is doubtful that he is Taoist. Meanwhile his son Guan Eng is a Born Again Christian.
