YOURSAY | What red line, DAP?

'Most manifesto pledges have not been fulfilled or delivered.'

The annual DAP congress, scheduled for August 16, 2026, seems to be more of a political maneuver than a decisive stand. Delegates are told they will decide whether the party should stay or leave, but the message shifts with each update. The "red line" mentioned by Ramkarpal Singh is vague and not clearly defined, serving more as an escape route than a firm stance.

Former Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's pardon is cited as an example of crossing the line, but the delegates are left to decide if it truly crosses the line. With no deadline and no automatic consequence, the red line turns into an escape route. The party should clearly outline its red lines and be ready to withdraw from the government if those lines are crossed.
