DAP leadership, ops overhaul needed to shed Chinese image, gain Malay votes

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – DAP needs to undergo a major overhaul of its leadership and operations to shed its Chinese image, and woo the support of the Malay majority, said Ronnie Liu Tian Khiew.

The DAP central working committee member said the transformation is needed in order to ensure the party is a formidable choice for voters, especially the Malays, who make up the majority of the nation’s vote bank.

This was Liu’s response to questions on the party’s long-standing struggle to attract Malay votes and members, following the severe defeat that the party and its Pakatan Harapan (PH) allies faced in the recent Melaka polls.

“A change of top leadership in DAP is necessary as the current one is perceived as unfriendly to Malays in general,” the Sg Pelek assemblyman told The Vibes when contacted.

“The top leadership must have a good representation of all the major races.”
