Despite Delivering The Most Seats For Anwar S Government Dap Suffers Fate As Opposition



Kok is not the only one in a long line of DAP leaders to be repeatedly targeted for statements related to Malays and Islam, which some see as an attempt by the Anwar government to show that its rule is Malay-centred despite a lack of support from the community.
(MalaysiaNow) – The investigation against Teresa Kok for her comments on halal certification is reminiscent of the Sosma crackdown on DAP members during the first PH government.
In October 2019, police arrested 12 DAP members under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act for their alleged links to the defunct Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
In response, leading DAP members, who were then part of the government, protested and appealed to the authorities to release them and condemning Sosma as repressive.
Four months later, the government collapsed, ending DAP’s first experience with power at the federal level.
Despite being part of the federal government for the second time – and this time as its biggest partner – DAP leaders are still frequently subjected to police questionings, unlike PKR or Umno politicians who rarely get called up.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has been reluctant to publicly defend his key ally despite its instrumental role in placing him for the top post.
A police investigation into DAP vice-chairman and Seputeh MP Teresa Kok has once again raised the issue of how the party is being treated despite providing much-needed numbers for the government’s survival as Malay support for Pakatan Harapan continues to wane.
With 40 MPs, DAP is not only the largest party in PH but also has the largest parliamentary share in the coalition government.
Kok had criticised a proposal from Mohd Na’im Mokhtar, the minister in charge of Islamic affairs, to extend the government’s halal certification to restaurants that do not serve pork or alcohol, typically a reference to non-Muslim-owned eateries that also cater to Muslim customers.
The remarks sparked a storm of criticism, with DAP supporters defending Kok and Umno leaders – keen to showthat the party was not playing second fiddle to DAP – seizing the opportunity in the hope of winning back Malay support.
Analyst Liew Wui Chern said the latest episode showed that although DAP is the largest partner in government, its fate is not much different from that of MCA, the Chinese component of the once-ruling Barisan Nasional, which dominated the government for decades.
He pointed out how MCA was accused of being subservient to Umno under the BN government, despite delivering the much-needed Chinese votes in every general election before 2008.
“Their grassroots and supporters will start to think that DAP has now become MCA, experiencing the same treatment that MCA received under BN before the 2010s,” said Liew.
Liew said any action against Kok would not go down well with DAP supporters, who are already questioning the party leadership’s silence on many issues since it allied with Umno to prevent Perikatan Nasional (PN) from returning to power in the last general election.
Liew said whether DAP members were unhappy with the way Kok was being handled in the halal controversy could be seen from the results of the upcoming DAP elections in Penang.
“If the Guan Eng camp wins a landslide victory, then the issue will have no impact on the grassroots,” he said, referring to DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng.
