‘No politics today’: Gobind defers comment on Ong Kian Ming’s DAP resignation during National Day celebrations

DAP national chairman Gobind Singh Deo has deferred comment on former Bangi MP Ong Kian Ming’s resignation from the party, stating that National Day is not the time for politics. Ong announced his resignation from DAP with immediate effect after 14 years of membership, expressing his intention to continue contributing to public life alongside like-minded individuals.

He also mentioned that he would assist former health minister Khairy Jamaluddin in his campaign for the 16th general election and did not plan to join another political party or contest in the upcoming election. Ong’s departure follows the DAP’s decision to keep its ministers and deputy ministers in the federal government until the end of the current parliamentary term, despite a vote overwhelmingly supporting the party’s members in the federal government.
