(The Star) - DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang has stepped in to calm the simmering feud between its party vice-chairman and Perak DAP secretary.
In a tweet Monday, the veteran leader issued a gag order on M. Kulasegaran and Nga Kor Ming.
"Both Kula n Nga agree int(internal). party channels x (not) BN msm (mainstream media) 1st resort 4thrashing out matters affecting party leaders," he said.
"Nga 2explain 2party leadership," he added.
The war of words between the Ipoh Barat MP and Nga started after Kulasegaran urged the Pantai Remis assemblyman to come clean over his alleged involvement in awarding a tailoring contract to his wife during Pakatan Rakyat's rule in 2008.
Kulasegaran had reportedly said business and politics did not mix and one should not enter politics to make money.
Meanwhile, Nga, in his blog, said he respected the party's directive and thus would refrain from commenting on the issue.
"I shall leave it to the party's leaders and members to judge his (Kulasegaran) conduct," he said.
In his tweet, Kulasegaran defended his action of calling Nga to come clean over the tailoring contract.
"I made no allegation/accusation. Unfortunately my comments misinterpreted as internal problems/ bad blood," he said.
"Many members/supporters also talked about it. They wanted answers too. So I said Nga should come clean - to explain," he added.
