PH-lapdog DAP slowly, but surely losing support of multiracial Malaysians
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17, 2024: Multiracial Malaysians today will not hesitate to vote for the birth or rise of a viable alternative to DAP.
That is a reality for the DAP today as it is almost muted on many socio-economic issues that it used to fight for when it was in the Parliamentary Opposition.
That it is fast becoming a political lapdog to Pakatan Harapan (PH) akin to Umno’s No.1 lapdog MCA is an understatement.
Will DAP's leadership continue to dig its political grave deeper?
No News Is Bad News reproduces below what former DAP Bangi MP Ong Kian Meng is saying about the DAP today:
This is not the DAP I joined 12 years ago, says ex-Bangi MP

Ong Kian Ming says the party would have fought for equal allocations for all, after Lim Guan Eng complained that his funds had been ‘hijacked’.
Former Bangi MP Ong Kian Ming said the DAP he joined in 2012 would not have allowed two of its assemblymen to attack an exco colleague on the issue of funds for their constituencies.
PETALING JAYA: DAP’s Ong Kian Ming has lamented the state the party is in after its chairman, Lim Guan Eng, had taken issue with a portion of government funds being used for a constituency under the opposition.
The former Bangi MP said the DAP he joined in 2012 would not have its chairman publicly question an exco member from his own party about public works department (JKR) expenditure being used for a trunk road that spans two constituencies.
The DAP I joined would be fighting for equal allocations for all MPs regardless of whether they were in opposition or government, he said in a post on X.
Lim had recently claimed some RM1.4 million of the RM5.6 million in funds set aside for his constituency, Bagan, had been hijacked by Tasek Gelugor.
The former Penang chief minister also claimed it was the second time that funds for Bagan had been hijacked.
Tasek Gelugor MP Wan Saiful Wan Jan, of Perikatan Nasional, expressed shock at Lim’s claim, asking if opposition-held areas were to be left out of development.
On Tuesday, state executive councillor Zairil Khir Johari explained that the RM5.6 million was meant to upgrade a trunk road linking the two areas, with RM4.2 million spent in Bagan, and the balance in Tasek Gelugor.
Zairil also said the RM1.4 million has since been returned as the Bagan MP felt cheated.
Ong said the DAP he joined 12 years ago would not have had two assemblymen publicly attacking Zairil on the same issue, referring to K Kumaran and Chee Yeoh Keen, the elected representatives for Bagan Dalam and Bagan Jermal, respectively.
Sadly, this is not the DAP I see today, the former deputy minister wrote.
