Sim denies claim of vote-
buying in DAP polls
DAP organising secretary Steven Sim says a third party has been appointed to oversee the election process and ensure that it is free from misconduct.
He said DAP had appointed a third party – an international firm – to oversee the election process and ensure that it is conducted fairly and transparently.
“I have full confidence in DAP’s values, in our delegates, and our members that such things will not happen,” he told a press conference after attending an event in conjunction with the MyWIRA Women’s Convention 2025.
Former Bagan Dalam assemblyman Satees Muniandy earlier said that a life member of DAP had told him that vote-buying had allegedly crept into the election process for the party’s top leadership posts.
He said delegates were allegedly being offered cash in the guise of “travel allowances” and a weekend stay at a five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
According to multiple sources, he said, a Penang MP and assemblyman were purportedly involved in securing votes for their political superior.
Satees, who is now the Urimai secretary, said he was prepared to lodge an official complaint to demand accountability.
Sim, who is also the human resources minister, said Satees was welcome to report the matter but noted that he was no longer with DAP.
“He is not a party member; he can say whatever he wants. If he wants to go to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, that is his right,” Sim said.
