Syahredzan hargai bantuan Ong sebelum jadi wakil rakyat
Ahli Parlimen Bangi Syahredzan Johan berkata beliau menghormati keputusan Ong Kian Ming meninggalkan DAP.
In the days leading up to the 15th Malaysian General Election, Syahredzan Johan, the Deputy President of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), expressed gratitude for the support and assistance provided by his predecessor, Ong Kian Ming. Syahredzan acknowledged that Ong had helped him during his early days as a parliamentary candidate for the Bangi constituency in the 2015 election. He further stated that Ong had facilitated his preparations and enabled him to stand as a candidate for the same constituency during the PRU15.
On a personal level, Syahredzan emphasized his deep appreciation for Ong's support before he became a representative. He acknowledged the efforts Ong had made on his behalf and recognized his contributions to the party as well. However, the decision to leave the party was a personal one, and the DAP respected Ong's choice, according to a report by Berita Harian on the announcement of Ong's departure from the DAP.
Ong, who had joined the DAP in 2012, reportedly stated that he had no intention of joining another political party or standing in the 2016 general election, but would assist former Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin in his campaign if he were nominated. Ong is a former Serdang MP from 2013 to 2018 and a former Bangi MP from 2018 to 2022, as well as the Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry from 2018 to 2020.
Syahredzan noted that Ong remains free and entitled to support Khairy in his PRU16 campaign after he is no longer a DAP member. However, the DAP's president, Gobind Singh Deo, declined to comment on Ong's decision to leave the party. For now, there was no political agenda to discuss.
