Perak DAP has lost direction

Perak DAP has lost direction

IPOH: Perak DAP has lost its direction, says former state DAP leader A. Sivasubramaniam, who has added his voice to the chorus of growing criticism against the party leadership.

The Buntong assemblyman said more assemblymen would be sacked from the party even though they did their job serving the people.

“Those who did not support the ‘abang-adik’ (brothers) will be sacked.

“Why else would the party terminate Leong Cheok Keng’s membership?

“I was not surprised when they did that to Leong, though he has served as a two-term assemblyman, ” he told reporters after handing over donations from Yayasan Perak to 38 students at the Buntong service centre here yesterday.

On Monday, Leong, who is Malim Nawar assemblyman, had his DAP membership terminated by the party after several reports claimed that Leong applied to join MCA.

It is believed that the term ‘abang-adik’ is referring to cousins, Nga Kor Ming and Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham. Nga is Perak DAP chairman.

Sivasubramaniam, who since June last year joined Gerakan said that Nga has broken the mandate given by the people while serving in the government for 22 months.

“Besides calling those who left traitors, what else did Nga do? He promised much to the people but it’s all lip-service.

“He has done nothing else.

“They will only keep those who support them, not the ones who can do the work, ” he said.

On March 9 last year, Sivasubramaniam, Paul Yong Choo Kiong (DAP-Tronoh) and Hasnul Zulkarnain Abdul Munaim (Amanah-Titi Serong) declared themselves as independents.

Yong remains an independent while Hasnul is now serving with Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu).

In December, DAP veteran leader and Selangor state executive councillor Datuk Teng Chang Khim said many of the party’s plans emphasised reforms but were impractical and not result-oriented.


He also said he was tired of playing the role of an “opposition” member in the party, and that “when no one opposes a proposal in the party, and you’re the only one who does every time, it becomes tiring.”

In an exclusive interview with Sin Chew Daily, the Bandar Baru Klang assemblyman, who has served on the party’s central executive committee for 24 years, said true reform within the party was only possible if they were able to deal with Lim Kit Siang and his son Guan Eng, who are the party adviser and secretary-general respectively.

  2. Lim Kit Siang is NOT the party advisor. That would be Chen Man Hin who is Life Advisor.

    LKS does not hold any party position of note, only the obscure title of “Central Policy and Strategic Planning Commission Chairman”.

    Nah see for yourself:

    2. Must be the poorest towkay ever. KT tokkok lah. Show where is the money? Was he ever charged for corruption?

      Power or position? No party position, did not ask for Minister or deputy position even after 50 years fighting in the opposition. No GLC job. No select committee position like PAC. Dun have Latuk or Tan Sli. Just back bencher.

    5. In any organisation. any Defacto influence and power only arises because the majority allow and support it.

      It is purely personal in nature, and very hard to be taken away.

  3. Father and Son “lost direction” and somehow managed to steer the party to 42 seats in Parliament, ie nearly 20% and with the best win-ratio of all parties.

    Lost Direction?

    In Perak, DAP contested and won all 18 state seats. Contested 7 and won all 7 parliament stats.

    And after GE14 while other parties suffered defections at federal level, DAP still 42.

    These minions are finding it difficult to climb the ladder, survival of the fittest, and they are not the fittest. Ah Leong’s application to join MCA was most untimely, and he probably regretted sending it but too late, MCA already received and chopped.

  4. The Disciplinary Committee asked for explanation regarding the 'rumour', can't Leong Cheok Keng just simply deny and inform as far as he is concern, it's a rumour (if it was't the truth). He deserves to be sacked for indisciplined and all Sivasubramaniam care is gloss over this fact and talk 3 talk 4 about the 'air'. Traitor Sivasubramaniam has no right to comment on DAP internal matter, is he trying to whitewash his own betrayal? Wakakakaka

  5. Leong did not deny that he applied to join MCA.

    That should be an automatic dismissal trigger. No need for further debate.

    Good luck with your MCA future.
