Political secretary to the chief minister Michael Tiang, said the new elected CEC of DAP reflects that Sarawak plays a minor role in the party.<\/p>\n
He stated that DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen is the only Sarawakian in the CEC line-up.<\/p>\n
DAP CEC name list released after its EGM (extraordinary general meeting) last Sunday, reveals that DAP is, de facto, a Malayan (peninsula-based) political party. Among the 30 elected and co-opted CEC members, Chong Chieng Jen who is from Sarawak is the only member in the CEC, and that constitutes only three per cent of the central power of the party.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis can be viewed as a fact that Sarawak carries only three per cent worth of significance in the DAP,\u201d he said in a statement issued at the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) media centre yesterday.<\/p>\n
Tiang, who is also Sarawak United People\u2019s Party (SUPP) central working committee (CWC) member, said the DAP election results also proved that \u2018Sarawak is never DAP\u2019s focus and political concerns and wondered how DAP Sarawak leaders would be going to fulfil their promises to Sarawakians should DAP ever take over Putrajaya, when they are not much represented in the party\u2019s CEC.<\/p>\n
DAP , he pointed out, rose from zero to 12 assemblymen in 2011 and five MPs in 2013, there was great expectation from the voters who wanted to see DAP bringing forth change to Sarawak\u00a0and unfortunately, \u00a0the DAP CEC election results (on Sunday) show that DAP is clinging onto their old path \u2013 Malaya first, Sarawak is accessorial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
