SERI KEMBANGAN, Nov 7 — DAP deputy chairman Gobind Singh Deo said his party will take disciplinary action against any of its members convicted in graft trials, including DAP national chairman Lim Guan Eng and ally Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman.

"So far there’s been no conviction. In the case of Lim Guan Eng and Syed Saddiq are still going on, so those are cases that are still in court.


"If there is conviction and if the conviction is final, then certain decision will have to be made,” said Gobind at the sidelines of a Pakatan Harapan (PH) mega rally in Taman Equine here.

Malay Mail had asked if the graft trials of opposition leaders will taint DAP’s long-held anti-corruption image.


Lim was charged with receiving a bribe for the Undersea Tunnel Project involving RM6.3 billion during his term as Penang's chief minister, and Muda President Syed Saddiq was ordered to enter defence for misappropriating RM1 million during his time as Bersatu’s Youth Chief.


Gobind is the lawyer for both of them.
