After PH setback, Sim to take policy changes to Anwar
The Penang DAP chairman says he will also discuss state government policies with chief minister Chow Kon Yeow.
Penang DAP chairman Steven Sim is set to meet Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to discuss policy changes following Pakatan Harapan's losses in Johor and Negeri Sembilan. Sim, who is also the minister for entrepreneur development and cooperatives, stated that he will propose proposals based on the concerns of small and medium-sized businesses.
He emphasized that DAP must listen to voters, improve government policies, strengthen internal unity, and remain firm on its principles. Sim also plans to meet Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow to discuss potential adjustments in state government policies, aiming to boost public confidence in DAP. This event occurred after the PH's defeat in the Negeri Sembilan state election, where BN and PN secured a combined 25 of the 36 seats, compared to PH's 11.
Despite the recent setback, Sim dismissed PAS's claims about the cooperation between BN and PN bringing down the DAP-led Penang government, calling it arrogance. Former Tanjong MP Ng Wei Aik encouraged DAP to reconnect with voters, emphasizing that the party has never feared being in the opposition and could now return to the people.
