While I agree that DAP play a subdued role, the lack of appointed deputies may cause supporters to question if Anwar is taking advantage of DAP.
ReplyDeleteFor sure, DAP cannot play an outsized role to prevent PN especially PAS from using that as ammunition and Anwar knows that. So, DAP has to swallow the shit because where can it go?
Supporters may not agree with this treatment and this may be reflected in the state elections.
But the question can be asked "is this the reward for sustained loyalty to the coalition?"
