DAP branch chairman lodges report with ROS over CEC election fiasco


SEREMBAN: The DAP Senawang Desa Dahlia branch has lodged a report with the Registrar of Societies (ROS) over alleged deception during the recent Central Executive Committee (CEC) elections.

Chairman Richard Francis who turned up with branch vice-chairman Jesu Dason when lodging a report said the elections clearly showed there were despotic practices in the party.

"I was a delegate who voted during the elections in Penang. I was sad when I found out the Indian community did not get a significant place in the party. It would be apt if DAP changes its name to 'Autocratic Action Party' or AAP," he told reporters after submitting his report to ROS Officer Zainor Shida Arshad on Friday.

Richard said DAP should stop party nepotism and give new leaders opportunities to manage the party, and suggested that the CEC election be held again to show DAP practiced democracy.

"DAP is preoccupied with cleanliness outside the party, whilst its own house is dirty. Clean our house first, then the nation." - Bernama
