DAP’s S’gor Exco’s must quit S’gor state govt now to prove it’s completely severed ties with PAS

Now that our MCA President Dato’ Sri Liow Tiong Lai and other MCA Cabinet Ministers as well as several Deputy Ministers have vowed to quit the government if the Syariah Bill is passed, the DAP three Exco Members should quit their post or demand the removal of the four PAS Exco Members in Selangor. DAP must self reflect and ask themselves as to why they still share the same state government with PAS and PKR.

MCA will quit when we have reached the line but DAP must quit now for PAS has crossed the line by tabling the Private Member’s Bill against the crux of all co-operation.

DAP should either demand that PAS be kicked out of the PKR-led Selangor’s administration or opt out as a “matter of principle”, after a Private Member’s Bill on the hudud - initially tabled by PAS President Dato’ Seri Abdul Hadi Awang - was brought forward in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday, 26 May 2016.

I challenge DAP to quit now in response to DAP challenging MCA, along with other non-Malay  Barisan Nasional component parties to quit the ruling coalition. We have responded to DAP’s challenges but DAP as usual is playing dumb and numb.

MCA, has consistently opposed the proposed amendments to the Syariah Bill and while I noted that DAP is also against it, DAP continues to work alongside PAS in the Selangor state government in all hypocrisy.

Such DAP-PAS co-operation in the Selangor state government is more atrocious as in the case of PAS, the event had taken place.

Despite this, we are still sticking to our principles and the President's and other MCA’s top brass’ promise is a testament to our commitment in opposing PAS’ Hudud enactments.

For all the fuss that was kicked up over hudud, DAP is still working alongside PAS as if "nothing happens"; and they have the gall to ask us to quit BN now. (PAS has four representatives in the Selangor Exco, while DAP has three.)

DAP must be reminded that the Rocket is jumping the gun when they challenged MCA to quit BN as we are not there yet unlike PAS vis-a-vis DAP.

I stress - BN, never TABLED  the Bill.

It was PAS all along and DAP knows it - the same party. DAP's ally, PKR is still cosy and working closely with PAS. PKR is part of Pakatan Harapan, which also comprises DAP and Amanah, a PAS splinter party.

DAP is still maintaining a relationship with PKR and PAS especially in Selangor when they should severe all ties. This close proximity is tantamount to "threesome khalwat" between DAP, PAS and PKR!
