Most DAP Representatives Want Party to Stay in Federal Government

A significant number of Democratic Action Party (DAP) representatives expressed a desire for the party to remain within the federal government until the end of its current term, despite acknowledging existing shortcomings.

Perak DAP representative Jason Ng Thien Yeong urged the party to stay in power to continue its reform agenda. He stated, "Although we have lost in several state elections recently... we cannot lose heart. In the remaining year or so, we must accept the fact that the unity government has weaknesses."

Muhammad Shakir Ameer Mohideen advised party members against panic following recent electoral losses, pointing to the DAP's strong performance in Negeri Sembilan. However, he also noted a declining trend in non-Malay voter support for the party.

Meanwhile, Federal Territories DAP representative Sangeet Kaur Deo suggested a reassessment of the party's relationship with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. She criticized the perceived lack of unity within the coalition, stating, "From uniting coalition partners, what has he done? He is dividing us and pitting one side against another. He is strengthening UMNO. We cannot ignore this."
