DAP delegates say staying in govt must come with change
Klang MP V Ganabatirau says leaving the administration will only affirm people’s perception that the party is unable to deliver on its promises.
The DAP's 4,000 delegates are set to deliberate on their party's future within the government next Sunday. Opinions are divided, with some advocating for an indefinite stay in government and others favoring an exit. Klang MP V Ganabatirau, who supports remaining in government, emphasizes the need to fulfill voter promises and address shortcomings.
He calls for reforms, such as the one person one vote principle, fair constituency allocations, clear guidelines in enforcing 3R offenses, and a review of e-invoicing. Another delegate, who plans to vote for an exit, believes it is necessary due to the party's losses in recent elections. Former DAP strongman Ronnie Liu highlights a Catch-22 situation, stating that staying in government risks losing Chinese and Indian support, while leaving may weaken the party.
Ngeh Koo Ham, a DAP veteran, argues that the DAP has not become less vocal despite being in government, and that delegates should vote based on what would best serve the public.
