PETALING JAYA: DAP members will always identify themselves as Malaysians first and never according to their ethnicity, said party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.

He said the party will fight to reject any leader who wants to deviate from its multiracial and multi-religious framework so as to keep DAP Malaysian.

“DAP is not a Chinese party, an Indian party or a Malay party. We are a Malaysian party for all, with elected representatives from all ethnic groups, including Sabah and Sarawak.

“Unlike Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who infamously declared that he is ‘Malay First, Malaysian Second’, DAP will never give up on our ideals of nation-building, established on racial fraternity, religious harmony, equal opportunity and socio-economic justice, among others,” he said at the opening of the Melaka DAP Convention today.
