DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng has declined to comment on the controversial comic Belt and Road Initiative for Win-Winism which featured a foreword by him.
He said this was because those who published the comic, including former DAP member Hew Kuan Yau, supposedly wanted to undertake certain legal processes.
The comic book, produced by Hew, who is the Asean Comic and Cultural Museum curator, and local artist Tomato, came under intense public scrutiny after it was found to have been distributed to school libraries.
After a public outcry, the Education Ministry banned its distribution in schools saying that it had never approved such distribution in the first place.
The Home Ministry subsequently banned the comic under Section 7(1) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act (PPPA) 1984 for, among other reasons, promoting communism and sympathy for the communist struggle.
