Mary Josephine will never walk alone with DAP

ADUN SPEAKS | Rahang assemblyperson Mary Josephine Prittam Singh, please reconsider your decision to quit DAP. 

As the head of DAP women’s wing, I am sad to see the departure of a loyal and committed comrade from the party, especially a female leader.

We joined DAP to achieve the objectives of the party – a Malaysia for Malaysians.

In this trying time, we hope Mary Josephine (above) will not give up the journey that she has walked this far on.

No one knows how long it will take for one to reach the finishing point but we are not walking the distance alone.

We hope Mary Josephine can put aside her personal feelings to remain in the party.

Setbacks are part and parcel of the process to achieve our dreams.

From an opposition party to defeating the two-thirds majority of BN back in the 2008 general election and then showing BN the exit as the ruling government in 2018, we have come a long way.

Of course, such a feat would not be possible without the many sacrifices, contributions and relentless efforts of DAP leaders and members, as well as the collaboration from other parties under Pakatan Harapan.

Mary Josephine has travelled near and far to campaign for elections and by-elections over the years. She has been considered as one of the best Polling Agent Counting Agent (PACA) trainers in DAP and an asset of the party.

We would like to have Mary Josephine as one of our dedicated woman leaders in the party to be an icon for aspiring members, especially the women’s wing.

We treasure her contribution to the party over the years.

DAP is like a big family. We may experience some unhappiness at some point in time but we do not leave the family for having problems with a few of them in the party.

I urge Mary Josephine to look at the bigger picture here and to not let the teething problems drain one’s vision of achieving a Malaysia for Malaysians.

To walk far, we do not walk alone.

Come back, Mary Josephine. We need you during this trying time.
