Ong Kian Ming quits DAP after 14 years, rules out GE16 run but vows to campaign for Khairy

On August 31, Ong Kian Ming, a former Bangi MP, announced his resignation from the Democratic Action Party (DAP) after 14 years of service. In a Facebook post addressed to DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke and copied to the national organising secretary Khoo Poay Tiong, Ong expressed his intention to not contest the next general election (GE16) or join another political party in the near future.

He thanked former DAP leaders Tony Pua and Lim Guan Eng for their guidance and support during his tenure. Despite his departure from DAP, Ong reaffirmed his commitment to campaign for Khairy Jamaluddin in GE16 if given a seat to run.
