Former DAP politician Hew Kuan Yew (pic) has continued to appear at DAP-related ceramahs despite quitting the party, said Gerakan secretary-general Datuk Liang Teck Meng.

Liang pointed out that Hew - also known as "Superman Hew" - recently appeared at a rally in Sandakan organised by Sabah DAP.

Hew left the party in July after he received criticism over his Facebook posting in which he insisted the South China Sea belonged to China.

"It is clear that there is little difference as Hew is doing exactly what he was doing before his resignation," said Liang in a statement on Monday.

Liang added that if DAP is sincere in cutting out racism from their events and distancing themselves from Hew, the party should impose a permanent ban on him appearing at their events or other Pakatan Harapan events.

"DAP should understand that having a person like Hew associated with DAP will only worsen race relations in this country, and it is time for the party to be responsible for the hatred and racism spewed all these years," said Liang.

He added that it was regrettable that a video of one of Hew's speeches was played at the recently-concluded Umno General Assembly.

"Two wrongs do not make a right. Racial harmony should be preserved at all costs," he said.
