STOP washing dirty linen in public - DAP's Anthony tells members

The DAP central leadership views with concern the various statements issued by party leaders in Malacca and Johor over the past week that give the public a negative impression about the affairs of the party.

The party headquarters received many calls from members of the public to express their displeasure over the public spats and open bickering among our own elected representatives.

We call upon all party leaders to immediately cease all public spat and outpouring of grievances and allegations and instead use the internal party channels to lodge whatever complaints and to resolve whatever disputes.

The central leadership is prepared to meet the state committees and all involved to listen to their grievances and find amicable solutions to the issues raised.

All party leaders and elected representatives must be fully aware that we have been entrusted by Malaysians in the recent general election to continue to serve and carry on their aspirations for a just and better Malaysia.

All of us have the responsibility to strengthen the party both internally as well as our public image.

Loke Siew Fook is the DAP national organizing secretary
