They forget a non-chinese made respond to comments and not the chinese. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, why the chinese in PKR are so silent to comments by PAS. We are looking into the wrong direct and jumping to the wrong idea.<BR/><BR/>BTW, DAP must attrach more Bumis in order to reflect a multi-racial party. Also fraction does exist in every organisation, but let it not split the the party like MCA.<BR/><BR/>Best to the future of DAPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-6702607959921114292008-08-15T09:40:00.000+08:002008-08-15T09:40:00.000+08:00Dear Tony,Hope you can comment on the topic PAS Ab...Dear Tony,<BR/><BR/>Hope you can comment on the topic PAS Abdul Hadi Awang more qualified to be PM<BR/><BR/>http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/8/15/nation/22088846&sec=nationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-3221396910113336242008-08-14T21:01:00.000+08:002008-08-14T21:01:00.000+08:00Tony,I think you shouldn't speak too soon.

His protege, Dr Tan Seng Giaw took over where he left off in Kepong area, seamlessly and many people might think Tan Sri was in DAP too!<BR/><BR/>I personally feel Po Kuan is juggling as a politician, dutiful daughter, wife, and hopefully mother-to-be. I would put it as being a reluctant politician having to serve the party's interests. We should respect her decisions and not be too critical.KoSong Cafehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257859564265735807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-13667844885611262292008-08-14T10:52:00.000+08:002008-08-14T10:52:00.000+08:00Tony,I am younger than you, but I have been in DAP...Tony,<BR/><BR/>I am younger than you, but I have been in DAP longer than you, so maybe me memory of DAP trivia goes back a bit longer than you ;-) and so I present to you...<BR/><BR/><B>Lingering issues leading to the impression of factional problems in DAP:</B><BR/><BR/>0) Wee Choo Keong, who apparently now doesn't have a problem working with PAS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAH (by the way, has the bugger even apologized to LKS for the wayward corruption allegations? If not, has LKS filed a defamation lawsuit against him? If I were LKS I would have sued him for all the money he got from BN to run MDP's 1999 campaign.)<BR/><BR/>1) Kerk Kim Hock's defeat in 2004 GE, with allegations of sabotage by a faction loyal to Guan Eng.<BR/><BR/>2) Guan Eng and Betty being unceremoniously flung out of DAP Melaka state leadership subsequent to 1.<BR/><BR/>3) Up till one week before the 2008 GE, some DAP Melaka people were still very openly critical of Guan Eng.<BR/><BR/>4) Last year, a DAP Negeri Sembilan ADUN crosses over to MCA citing factional problems with Negeri Sembilan DAP state leadership (not to worry though, the fella lost his seat in the tsunami)<BR/><BR/>5) Fong Po Kuan's pre-election tantrum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-89867599684577629352008-08-14T09:54:00.000+08:002008-08-14T09:54:00.000+08:00I was about to blog about this matter but did not ...I was about to blog about this matter but did not get down to it.<BR/><BR/>Even as a new member, I am uncomfortable whether to be seen greeting MPs and ADUNs for fear of being 'up to something'. I used to be able to meet them and discuss about certain matters. Now, I have to think of the party hierarchy!<BR/><BR/>In any party there will be leaders and followers, opportunists, sore losers and so on. Eventually, leaders will be supported regardless of what others may put in their paths.<BR/><BR/>I would put you, Jeff Ooi, Dr. Rama, Liew Chin Tong, to name a few, as being head-hunted for who you are. Some ambitious partymen would naturally be disappointed if they felt being sidelined. Party delegates will know who to support. Taking advantage of loopholes in the rules is only good up to a certain extent.<BR/><BR/>I still maintain that some old leaders are great and need to be supported. Younger leaders should bear this in mind and not expect moving up as a right. Patience is also a virtue and opportunists can be spotted soon enough.<BR/><BR/>May the best men win in the coming elections. <BR/><BR/>I will take the opportunity to meet as many leaders as possible. So see you soon.KoSong Cafehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257859564265735807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-27857658798302995852008-08-14T09:50:00.000+08:002008-08-14T09:50:00.000+08:00how true. in democratic process, everyone must agr...how true. in democratic process, everyone must agree to disagree for the process to be effective.<BR/><BR/>in the same vein, if the majority view differs from the minority, still the majority view has to be followed because that is how democracy should work, right?<BR/><BR/>rgds<BR/>www.tmithomas.blogspot.comd'Frog Princehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17929734415014472078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-80524959548137351122008-08-14T04:26:00.000+08:002008-08-14T04:26:00.000+08:00Yes, you are part of the DAP Feudalism now, a vass...Yes, you are part of the DAP Feudalism now, a vassal to Lim Guan Eng.
