DAP's Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua, speaking at the state convention today, says the newly-appointed Malay committee members will be introduced to the grassroots in order for more members to recognise the diversity of the party. – The Malaysian Insider pic by Seth Akmal, November 1, 2015.Constitutional law expert Dr Abdul Aziz Bari and two Malay DAP members were today appointed to the party's Selangor committee.
The other two were Young Syefura Othman and Edry Faizal Eddy Yusof.
Selangor DAP chairman Tony Pua said none of the Malays who stood in the state party election won.
Pua, who received 495 votes in the election, was reappointed chairman. He said race had nothing to do with the election pattern of the Chinese majority party.
"Our Malay members are new. It could be because the members were not familiar with them.
"But we will make sure that these people will go out and meet the grassroots so the members will become more aware of our Malay members," he said.
Aziz, Syefura and Edry were among five new committee members appointed by the 15 who were elected today.
The other two were Yeo Bee Yin and Rajiv Risyakaran.
In the elections held during the Selangor DAP convention in Petaling Jaya today, Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo received the highest number of votes of 736 followed by Lau Weng San with 695 votes, Ean Yong Hian Wah with 668 vote, and Ronnie Liu with 649 votes.
