Bangi MP Ong Kian Ming has announced his decision to not offer himself as a candidate for the 15th general election and to take a break from frontline politics.
He said while the recent DAP Central Election Committee results did play a role, it was not the main reason for his decision to take a break from frontline politics.
"When I was first offered to be a candidate for the parliamentary seat of Serdang, my agreement with my wife was that I would serve out two terms and then re-evaluate the situation.
"Coming to the end of my second term, I believe that I have served my constituency, my party and the country to the best of my abilities.
"It is now time for the younger generation in the party to take over the reins of leadership," he said.
In a statement today, Ong also gave his full confidence in the leadership of Anthony Loke as DAP's new secretary-general and urged all members and leaders of the party to show their full support for Loke.
