​ : Thank you for the great contribution as Parliamentary Opposition Leader. The days BN had 2/3 brute majority, the DAP had no or little access to the traditional media, there was no coalition opposition bloc. no expressway to travel fast and conveniently to meet voters during election campaign, govt used represssive laws against Opposition MPs.

Despite all this you did a marvellous job for Malaysians. Thank God you leaving the scene with head high unlike some Umno and ex-Umno politicians. You have set the tone Dr M, Muhyiddin, Anwar, Najib, Zaid, Hadi. Please leave .

He announced this during the DAP congress held at the Ideal Convention Centre in Shah Alam today.

"I take this opportunity to announce my political retirement and I will not contest for any position, including the party central executive committee (CEC) today - you should delete No 39 from the CEC candidate list - or any parliamentary or state assembly seat," Lim said in his speech at the congress. The Iskandar Puteri MP said he has been with the party for 56 years and has seen it develop from a small opposition party into a major political party in the Pakatan Harapan coalition which won the 14th general election.
