AS RARE as it sounds, an opposition-slant Chinese keyboard warrior has urged Malaysian Chinese to think twice before re-electing DAP to power come the 16th General Election (GE16) given the party’s current horrendous performance.
In so doing, Jess (@jezlai) shared a one-minute-and-a-half TikTok clip of a presumably disillusioned Melaka DAP backer berating the party about the failure of the Madani government in managing Malaysia’s economy with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar having failed to deliver electoral promises to Malaysians.
Addressed to DAP retired supremo Tan Sri Lim Kit Siang and the party’s current adviser Lim Guan Eng, the allegedly pro-Gerakan poster shared the video by @daretopostmedia to support her earlier post on X that DAP is turning a blind eye to the grievances of the Chinese at the large.
Hello DAP leaders, Kit Siang and Guan Eng
Watch this video about a
Malaysian Chinese from Malacca Scolding a Malacca DAP Leader About Anwar Government Failed in Managing Malaysia’s Economy and Anwar with PH Failed in Delivering their Promises made to Malaysians. https://t.co/zkAwKgZYZn pic.twitter.com/g2hNJmhhiU— Jess (@jezlai) June 28, 2025
“An increasing (number of) Malaysian Chinese are unhappy with DAP leaders and Kit Siang who are very quiet and pretending not to know about economic and financial sufferings faced by many Malaysian Chinese,” she justified, alluding to a 35-second clip bearing the message “instead of changing your gas tank, better to change the government”.
“They dare not even sound Anwar for having removed subsidies and upping taxes! Come GE16, Chinese voters should say bye-bye to DAP.”
Interestingly, Jess further shared another stinging anti-DAP propaganda with the caption: “Malaysian Chinese are making many videos on social media platforms to show DAP how pissed off they are with DAP for lying to the Chinese while rallying other to partake reforms.”

Although she faced backlash from a number of Madani cybertroopers who accused her to be a ‘lone DAP hater’, she did find a few likeminded netizens who concurred with her.
Even the X platform’s artificial intelligence @Grok confirmed that the video posted by Jess “seems recent, likely from 2025 based on its sharing date and context of current economic issues”.
“The person is clearly angry at DAP – not Gerakan – as he criticised DAP leaders like Kit Siang and Guan Eng for the Anwar government’s economic failures,” replied the chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI after a commenter wondered whether if the video was an old clip.
“Gerakan, being in the opposition, isn’t mentioned. This reflects wider frustration among some Chinese Malaysians with DAP’s role in the ruling coalition.”
Below is few on-the-ground observation from the poster as she rallied Malaysian Chinese to dare themselves to male a mindset change by “voting for anyone except DAP, Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Anwar”.
To a question of she expects the Chin4ese to vote for Gerakan which “is even more hopeless”, Jess did not rule out that “a Gerakan-MCA combo can be a great force against DAP which is looking like a lackey to UMDAP (UMNO-DAP)”.
At the end of the day, sone commenters are sceptical with the mentality of the Chinese “who could be swayed by some dumb sentiment only to crawl back and vote these useless species” come GE16. – June 30, 2025
