PETALING JAYA: DAP can never be MCA 2.0 as it fights for all Malaysians, the DAP MP for Bukit Bintang said today.
Fong Kui Lun also reiterated DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang’s stand that the party would quit Pakatan Harapan (PH) if the New Malaysia objective was abandoned.
“I would like to emphasize that DAP is a party that will never give up fighting for all Malaysians regardless of their race, religion and creed,” Fong said in a winter solstice message.
“When injustice happens on any Malaysian, DAP will be the first party to voice out and act. Amidst issues faced by the PH government, I sincerely hope the same spirit of winter solstice can be applied where the component parties can discuss and resolves difficult issues as a family and as a team.
“All parties’ voices count and all parties’ opinions should be respected when it comes to issues such as abolishing death penalty and accepting people’s representatives from Umno.”
Winter Solstice is an important cultural festive for the Chinese as it signifies unity, he said. This is a particularly important element that Malaysia needs right now, especially we have just begun the journey of rebuilding the nation, he added.
“It is the best time for Malaysians to stand united and work hand-in-hand to spur the economy into greater state and shape. Only when the economy improves, can Malaysia progress and be developed further,” Fong added.
