Former Teratai assemblyman Janice Lee will not be able to contest in the state DAP polls because her appeal has been rejected, says national organising secretary Anthony Loke.

“Although she has appealed to contest, the party has rejected her application,” Loke told FMT.
Lee had said that she would still take part the state elections in December’s because she was appealing against her sacking.
She had also said she remained a DAP member and was entitled to take part in the state polls while waiting for the central executive committee to hear her appeal.
Lee was dropped as a DAP candidate in the last general election after the party’s disciplinary committee (DC) found her guilty of misappropriating state and residents’ funds in Sungai Pelek and Teratai respectively.
She went on to stand as an independent candidate in the general election and lost.
Lee had said her dismissal was an act of double standard by the CEC because other DAP leaders who had committed similar deeds were spared from punishment.
Loke, however, dismissed it by saying that she had a lot of allegations against her and this led to the party sacking her.
“I really don’t know what is she talking about,” he said.
