KUCHING, Mar 10: Democratic Action Party (DAP) Disciplinary Committee will take the sternest action against defectors.
DAP Sarawak chief Chong Chieng Jen in a statement said this was because “nothing is more treacherous and worse than a betrayal of the people’s mandate”.
Chong also announced that the party had today terminated the membership of Norhizam Hassan Baktee (Pangkalan Batu assemblyman, Melaka) for crossing over from DAP to Perikatan Nasional (PN).
In respect of the two Perak assemblymen who have defected, namely, Tronoh assemblyman Yong Choo Kiong (Perak) and Buntong assemblyman Sivasubramaniam Athi Narayanan (also Perak), given that they had publicly announced that they had quit the party, the Disciplinary Committee had also decided to terminate their membership.
The Disciplinary Committee advised all its members to disassociate themselves from the three defectors and that no member shall accept any official position offered by the Perikatan Nasional. —DayakDaily
