Guan Eng: DAP cooperation with Umno only when it is of necessary public interest

[superadmin]

GEORGE TOWN, March 8 — DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said today his party’s cooperation with Umno is on an ad hoc basis and only on issues that benefit the public.

He stressed that DAP does not plan to partner Umno for the coming general election, widely believed will be called this year.

“Don’t interpret this as more than what I said, there was nothing about cooperating with Umno for the general elections,” he said in a press conference at the Penang DAP headquarters here.


He said the party’s stance on cooperation with Umno has always been the same, that DAP is only willing to show its support to Umno on individual issues that benefit the people.

“We are willing to cooperate with Umno if it is public issues that benefit the rakyat, such as about convening the Parliament,” he said.
