DAP duo downplay youth leader’s call for Anwar to apologise


Perak DAP deputy chairman Abdul Aziz Bari (left) says DAP Youth national secretary Teh Hoong Keat’s remarks were his personal views. DAP central executive committee member Ronnie Liu (right) said Teh (centre) had misread the situation.

PETALING JAYA: Two DAP leaders have downplayed a call by one of the party’s youth leaders for opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim to apologise for instructing Pakatan Harapan (PH) MPs against a bloc vote on the federal budget.

Perak DAP deputy chairman Abdul Aziz Bari described DAP Youth national secretary Teh Hoong Keat’s remarks as his “personal views” and that they did not represent those of the party or the youth wing.

Teh had also called for PH to be disbanded should Anwar fail to apologise on the issue.

In an angry response to this yesterday, Selangor PKR Youth chief Najwan Halimi had warned his DAP counterparts against crossing the line.

Aziz said before this, there were other PKR leaders who had made similar remarks. “Forget the national DAP leadership, this is not even DAP Youth’s official stand.”

DAP central executive committee member Ronnie Liu, meanwhile, said he believed Teh was shocked, disappointed and angry when he made the remarks.

“Actually, the budget has not been passed (at the committee stage).”

Debates on the allocations for various ministries at the committee stage begin tomorrow in the Dewan Rakyat.

Liu said he believed Teh felt DAP was forced to follow in the “wrong direction” but felt he had misread the situation.

The opposition, he said, still had room to speak up against what was wrong with the budget.

“Let us not blame him (Teh). Many do not know the parliamentary process on the first, second and third readings. Only assemblymen and MPs know. Many thought Nov 26 was the final decision,” Liu added.
