‘Big hearted’ Nga forgives Kula

The time now is to be focused on working for the people and party, especially given the general election is just around the corner, and not to be involved in a party dispute, he says.

IPOH: Perak DAP secretary Nga Kor Ming has a big heart to “forgive and forget” party national vice chairman M Kulasegaran’s tweeter rant against him and Perak DAP chief Ngeh Koo Ham.

Nga said he was not keen to get into a public spat with a fellow party comrade despite the open seething personal attacks by Kulasegaran, the Ipoh Barat MP, on him and his cousin Ngeh.

He said he was focused on working for the people and party, especially given the general election was just around the corner.

“I have big heart, big enough to forgive Kulasegaran and forget his remarks.

“Whatever his comments were, I can stomach his criticisms.

“I will leave him alone.

“I have no further comments on that,” Nga told FMT after attending a DAP fund-raising dinner themed: “Maatram Nite – Dine with V Sivakumar”, organised by party Batu Gajah Utara branch here last night.

Apart from Tronoh assemblyman Sivakumar, Taiping MP and Pantai Remis assemblyman Nga and Beruas MP and Sitiawan assemblyman Ngeh, also present were PAS leaders Nizar Jamaluddin and Husam Musa, and DAP Buntong assemblyman A Siva Subramaniam.

Last week, Kulasegaran used his Twitter to vent his anger against Ngeh and Nga, claiming that he had been sidelined in Perak DAP and that the cousins had belittled the Indian community.

“Some party leaders are so oblivious. Bro, Perak politics will explode if I start speaking. Matter of time only,” Kulasegaran wrote on Twitter on Friday.

The all powerful Ngeh–Nga dynasty has taken control of Perak DAP since 2008 general election.

Sources said the Perak DAP plans to kick out Kulasegaran, Sungkai assemblyman A Sivanesan and Teluk Intan MP M Manogaran and replace them with much better Indian candidates in the forthcoming general election.
