DAP failed in three attempts to win power in Penang. After a disastrous outing at the 1995 general election, the plan was abandoned.
Posters of DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang touting him as the next chief minister were put up all over Penang in the run up to the “Tanjung 2” battle.
For that campaign, dubbed Tanjung 2, the party formed an alliance with the Umno splinter party Semangat 46, formed by Umno strongman Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah after a major falling-out with party president and then prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Not only that, Kit Siang was armed with a letter signed by Razaleigh, addressed to the Penang governor, saying his Gagasan Rakyat coalition was nominating the DAP leader for the chief minister’s post.
Party strategists decided to portray Kit Siang as a “Robocop” who would clean up Penang, using the character from a popular science fiction movie, of an android – a human with steel and electronics parts – who heartlessly crushes all lawbreakers with super-human strength and abilities.
