DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said
today the party was not anti-Malay just because no Malay candidate was elected
to its central executive committee (CEC).
He said the DAP was open to all the races.
At the party's elections at its national congress
last Saturday, none of the eight Malay candidates got elected to the CEC, but
two of them, Senator Ariffin S.M. Omar and Zairil Khir Johari, were appointed
to the CEC later.
Lim, who is the Penang chief minister,
urged the media to stop carrying reports which could incite hatred in the
people towards the party.
"We do not control who the delegates
choose. We accept the results (of the elections). This is democracy.
"...and yet these are the parties who
criticise the DAP just because we appoint two Malay members to the CEC. We
accept the result and decision made by the delegates at the national
congress," he told reporters here.
