Forget Dr M, move on, DAP man tells Amanah

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: A DAP leader has urged his Pakatan Harapan ally Amanah to move on from Dr Mahathir Mohamad and stick together, amid defections within the coalition.

Speaking to FMT, Johor DAP committee member Dr Boo Cheng Hau said although defections were not ideal, what was important was that everyone was still in PH.

This comes after three Amanah assemblymen in Johor quit the party and joined PKR, leading to some Amanah leaders calling for a review of ties with PKR.

Boo said he had been made to understand there were some in Amanah who still looked up to Mahathir rather than opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, and this had made others in the party uneasy.

Previously, PKR Youth secretary Syukri Razab had claimed that Amanah remained unsettled because some leaders chose to be friendly with Mahathir while being in PH.

“Anwar is our undisputed leader. We should follow his lead and stick to PH’s principles. We cannot have more than one horse pulling the PH cart or it’ll go in different directions,” said Boo.



“PH is about multiculturalism, we have to accept the fact that this is not what Tun Dr Mahathir wants and this was evident from his endorsement of the Malay Dignity Congress without consulting other PH leaders.”
