00:00An analyst said the recent blunders by past leaders could see the people losing confidence
00:07in the party, ultimately leading to public disgust.
00:11Yesterday, Perak Chief Razman Zakaria had linked DAP MP Hena Yeo to the Yeo family of
00:19YTL Corporation Berhad, an error he later apologised for.
00:26However, Taufik Yacoub of University Malaya said this episode gave the impression that
00:31PAS had failed to learn its lesson.
00:35In another recent case, Kebala Batas MP Siti Masturah Mohamad was found guilty of defaming
00:42DAP leaders Lim Kit Siang and Lim Guan Eng by linking them to the late Communist Party
00:48of Malaya leader, Xi Jinping.
00:51In another incident, Razman accused Delo Intan MP Ngak Khor Ming of being involved
00:57in a China flag-waving parade.
01:00He apologised for his statement last month.
01:04Taufik said voters were growing weary of past leaders making baseless accusations and apologising
01:11for them.
01:12Maslan Ali of University Technology Malaysia said the failure of past leaders to fact-check
01:18their remarks also affected the party's image.
