Political career

'Green wave' statement

Main article: Green Wave (Malaysia)

On 7 July 2023, DAP National Chairman Lim Guan Eng warned Penang voters not to allow the "green wave" to take hold in the state. He said that the "green wave" would have resulted in the destruction of Buddhist temples and the restriction of certain practices for non-Muslims.^[3]

He has been accused by opposition leaders of fearmongering Penang voters against the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) by intentionally raising the 3R issues (Rulers, race, religion).^[4] PAS Secretary-General Takiyuddin Hassan said the party strongly condemned the extreme provocation and incitement of extraordinary hatred by Lim.^[5] Manjoi assemblyman Mohd Hafez Sabri wants the police to investigate Lim for his remarks.^[6]
