Ong’s views on PM candidate are his own, says Nga

 

DAP member Ong Kian Ming (left) is free to give his opinion but must abide by the party’s decisions, says vice-chairman Nga Kor Ming.

PETALING JAYA: Former MP Ong Kian Ming was giving his personal opinion when talking of a prime ministerial candidate from DAP recently, said party vice-chairman Nga Kor Ming.

Nga said Ong, as a party member, is free to express his opinions, including his political views. “However, each leader is obviously bound by the party’s decisions. That is all,” Nga was quoted as saying by Sinar Harian.

On Tuesday, Ong, a former MP for Bangi, said former Umno leaders Khairy Jamaluddin and Shahril Hamdan should join DAP as the party needs a prime ministerial candidate. He said he believed both of them are suitable candidates.
