Poo Long Suan says Damian Yeo has offered advice and introduced him to potential supporters in Duyong despite saying he would boycott PH's election campaign.

Ex-Duyong rep helping DAP candidate despite PH campaign boycott

Melaka's DAP candidate Poo Long Suan has received assistance from former Duyong assemblyman Damian Yeo, despite Yeo's decision to boycott the Pakatan Harapan (PH) campaign for the Melaka election. Yeo, who accompanied Poo to meet influential individuals in Duyong, advised him during the nomination process. Yeo's involvement comes as speculation arises about an electoral understanding between PH and Bersatu, which contributed to the PH-led government's collapse in 2020.

Yeo, elected Duyong assemblyman in 2018 and defeated by Just 200 votes in 2021, emphasizes sincerity in serving the constituency over online popularity. Poo, a member of the DAP complaints committee, believes that focusing on meeting residents and resolving their problems is more important than building an online following. Polling day in Melaka is scheduled for November 14, with early voting on November 10.
