‘DAP extreme’ statement baseless, misguided, party tells Dr M

PETALING JAYA: DAP has disagreed with the claim by former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad that the party is extremist.

Its secretary-general, Lim Guan Eng, said Mahathir’s claim is wrong, baseless and misguided.

He said Mahathir is wrong as history and facts have proven that DAP is a multi-racial party that seeks to represent all Malaysians regardless of race and religion.

“DAP has never discriminated nor taken any position that is inimical to the rights and interests of Malaysians whether Malay or non-Malay, Muslim or non-Muslim. DAP leaders have gone to prison for defending the rights of both Malays and non-Malays.


“Fortunately, there are a growing number of Malaysians that are impressed by our proven track record and do not see DAP as extremist, when DAP is able to win seats with more Malay than non-Malay voters,” he said in a statement.
