Warisan gets a rep in Selangor after 3 ex-DAP members from Peninsular join

 

Warisan now has an elected representative in Selangor after three ex-DAP representatives from Peninsular Malaysia joined the Sabah-based party.

Teratai state assemblyperson Bryan Lai Wai Chong, who quit DAP amid extramarital affair allegations last year, was unveiled as a Warisan member during an event in Kota Kinabalu last night.

“We need a true multiracial leader and (Warisan president) Mohd Shafie Apdal is a true moderate and open-minded leader,” Lai was quoted as saying by The Star.

Also defecting from DAP were former Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi Chuan Aun, and former Penang state executive council member Danny Law Heng Kiang.

Umno's former Kukup assemblyperson Suhaimi Salleh also reportedly joined Warisan.
