Kian Ming gives 3 reasons for DAP to remain in govt

DAP spokesperson Ong Kian Ming has suggested three reasons why the party's delegates should vote to remain in the government during the upcoming special congress. Firstly, staying in power would help ensure policy stability amid the economic uncertainty caused by US President Donald Trump's policies, particularly in the Middle East.

Secondly, Ong argued that remaining in the Cabinet would prevent Barisan Nasional (BN) and Umno from gaining an advantage by pulling support from the government, potentially triggering an early general election. Lastly, he emphasized that the only legitimate reason for DAP leaders to resign from the Cabinet would be to compel Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to deliver some political reforms prior to the next general election.
