KJ asks if he should join DAP, Ong says yes - party needs PM candidate

Sacked Umno leaders Khairy Jamaluddin and Shahril Hamdan should join DAP, said Ong Kian Ming.

According to the former DAP MP for Bangi, this is because the party needs prime minister candidates.

"Both of you fit the bill," he told the two former Umno leaders during a podcast aired on Youtube this afternoon.

The overture was met with surprise and laughter from the hosts.

Ong said this in response to Khairy asking him if he and Shahril should join DAP and if yes, why.
