KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 — Ong Kian Ming, a former Bangi MP, has resigned from the Democratic Action Party (DAP) after 14 years of service. In a Facebook post, Ong stated his intention to rule out contesting the upcoming general election (GE16) or joining another political party in the near future, while reaffirming his commitment to campaign for Khairy Jamaluddin if he is given a seat to run.
Ong, who joined DAP in 2012, held various positions within the party, including MP for Serdang and Bangi, deputy international trade and industry minister, and a member of the party's executive and state committees. He expressed gratitude to former DAP leaders Tony Pua and Lim Guan Eng for their guidance during his tenure, and to DAP members and leaders from Serdang and Bangi for their collaboration.
Despite his departure, Ong reaffirmed his promise to support Khairy Jamaluddin's campaign in GE16, should he secure a position to run.
