Several banners have been strung up in various parts of the town, denouncing a prospective DAP candidate in the general election.
Taman Bukit Perdana DAP branch chief Tan Meng Ann alleged that it was “an act of sabotage” by some party members.
He said he saw one of the banners in his neighbourhood when driving his daughter to school at about 6am yesterday. The banner had been taken down when he drove past the site at about 10am, he said.
Similar banners and posters nailed on trees were seen along the Taman Bukit Perdana main road, at the Taman Makmur food court and near the DAP office in Jalan Omar.
It is believed that the posters were aimed at Johor DAP deputy secretary Gan Peck Cheng, who lost in her bid to win the Penggaram state seat in the past four general elections.
In 2008, she lost to Barisan Nasional candidate Datuk Koh Chee Chai, who is from the MCA.
It is learnt, however, that the party may put her up as a candidate again at the next polls.
“I don't want to speculate.
“We don't know the real motive behind it but it could be someone who is eyeing to be a candidate,” said Tan, advising those who had grouses to bring them up with the party instead of making public attacks.
His deputy, Chin Sin Chai, said the party would not lodge a police report because it was an internal party issue.
Meanwhile, Gan said she was not surprised that such a thing had happened.
Declining to be drawn into the issue, she said: “It is normal when the elections are near. It is not necessary to speculate.”
