DAP congress set for Aug 16 showdown, stalled reforms and grassroots frustration to dominate agenda

The DAP's national congress, scheduled for August 16, will address concerns over stalled institutional reforms and the growing dissatisfaction among grassroots members. National organising secretary Chan Foong Hin highlighted the party's lack of progress on reforms such as a proposed 10-year limit for the prime minister's tenure and the separation of the roles of Attorney General and Public Prosecutor, which have not been implemented due to insufficient parliamentary support.

The congress will provide an opportunity for members to assess the party's direction amid the current political landscape, which Chan described as "blurred" due to recent political developments in Peninsular Malaysia. Chan emphasized the need to balance political clarity with maintaining enough parliamentary support to pass reforms and the federal budget, stressing that the congress is part of DAP's internal democratic process.
