KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 — DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang said today he is prepared to hold a political ceasefire with rivals Barisan Nasional and meet with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to discuss the need for a Royal Commission of Inquiry to investigate the Low Yat Plaza racial riot.
The Gelang Patah MP said the meeting is necessary to defuse the rising racial tension in a bid for reconciliation as the incident had evidently polarised the nation.
“We are prepared to meet the prime minister to discuss the need for a RCI so we can work for a peaceful solution for everyone,” Lim told reporters while visiting the popular tech mall where the bloody brawl took place.
He added that it was imperative that Putrajaya double efforts to seek the truth behind what had transpired over the weekend.
