An UMNO politician is offering RM10,000 to anyone who can write an essay to prove that DAP's Lim Kit Siang "is racist, anti-Islam, and a dictator"

According to The Star, UMNO information chief Tan Sri Annuar Musa said he has been looking out for material and evidence to support his claims against the DAP supremo.

The title of the write-up is, according to Annuar, “Lim Kit Siang is said to be racist, anti-Islamic, and a dictator for 51 years. Is this true?”

"The reason for the competition would be to encourage people to carry out a research into allegations of Kit Siang being a racist, anti-Islam and a dictator," he said as quoted by Malaysiakini.

He suggested that the public should upload the material to blogs and social media, then send it to UMNO’s office

People can submit their entries to my office at PWTC for the contest which ends on May 30. I will raise the money to pay the winner.

Perhaps they can do research based on his previous speeches in Parliament. The material is everywhere," he said.

Annuar, who is also Ketereh MP, said the essay competition was his response to Lim calling him the "father of racists" for a previous remark

Back in 20 March, Lim Kit Siang labelled Annuar the “father of all racists" after the Ketereh MP called Lim "a racist, anti-Islam and dictator."

Meanwhile, a number of DAP politicians have lodged a police report against Annuar over the contest

If he (Annuar) retracts his essay competition offer and apologises, we will retract our police report,” Damansara Utama assemblyperson Yeo Bee Yin told Malaysiakini outside the Damansara police station this morning.

PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar has also slammed Annuar over his proposed essay writing competition, labelling it as childish and uncalled for.
