In blogpost, Liew Chin Tong compares and contrasts the leadership structures of DAP and Umno

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 3 — Unlike Umno, DAP’s leadership structure is more democratic and has far more checks and balances, said DAP Johor chief Liew Chin Tong.

In a blog post today, Liew explained how the party’s central executive committee (CEC), secretary-general and its chairman are elected.

He added that while the secretary-general post presides over the party’s operations, the office bearer is still answerable to the CEC and the party’s chairman.

“I am often asked why is DAP’s ‘president’ not elected directly by delegates? For a start, DAP has no president. Following the tradition of left-wing parties, DAP’s No. 1 leader is the secretary-general.
