GE15: DAP’s Howard Lee on playing the long game to win Malay support
IPOH – Sincere and genuine hard work to uplift the Malay community – be it in urban, semi-urban, semi-rural or rural areas – is a must for DAP to earn the support and trust of Malaysia’s largest ethnic group, a party central executive committee said.
Howard Lee, who is Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) Ipoh Timor candidate, and who is well known among the Malay community in his former Pasir Pinji state seat for his service and thick Perak accent, told The Vibes and Getaran that an elected representative should serve without expecting rewards.
“It’s not a question of ‘Apa lagi Melayu mahu?’ (What more do Malays want?),” Lee said. He was referring to the infamous headline that Utusan Malaysia had published after the 13th general election in 2013 – “Apa lagi Cina mahu?” (What more do the Chinese want?) – when Chinese voters overwhelmingly threw their support to the opposition, depriving Barisan Nasional (BN) of its customary popular-vote majority.
