Should Dap Unmask Its Multi Racial Make Up And Stay True As A Perfect Ethnic Chinese Party

---

 
HAS DAP misled Malays and Indians to join the party under the pretext that it is a multi-racial party when the party’s core support and leadership structure have been predominantly Chinese?
Such is the criticism levelled at DAP by opposition-slant political activist Jess (@jezlai) who claimed that despite having consistently promoted a multi-racial agenda and sought to represent the interests of all Malaysians, ‘DAP remains a 100% Chinese party”.
‘Why more and more Indians & Malays leaving DAP?” the presumably Gerakan influencer asked in a post on X while insinuating discrimination along racial lines on non-Chinese members.

“DAP only use Malay and Indian members or leaders to gain votes and political support.”
Of interest is the revelation by ex-DAP Youth member Venosha Balachandran who claimed that the wing’s WhatsApp group “always speak in Chinese”, hence prompting her to leave the group.
FormerDAP Youth member Venosha Balachandran“And then one of the ADUN messaged me asking why I left the group to which I replied that you didn’t include me in any conversation for everything is in Chinese.
“So what do you expect me to do? Go and translate all the conversations and reply to you? The majority audience to the food … everything is Chinese … they may add one or two sentences in Malay or Tamil … They say vanakam and the Indians are all ready to vote for them … I eventually left the party.”
Optics of Malay, Indian faces
Interestingly, there were some interactions between Jess and commenters to her post in which one remarked that “DAP has mastered the art of optics with Malay faces on banners and Indian names in (party) line-ups.”

“But behind closed doors, the same people still pull the strings. You don’t build unity by borrowing colors. You build it by sharing the brush.”
Concurring with the observation, the influencer even took a swipe at Bentong MP Young and DAP’s central executive committee (CEC) member Young Syefura Othman whom she described as “unintelligent and got condemned by her own race for being a willing stooge to a full-blown Chinese political party”.
Jess further refuted the notion that “DAP leaders are the best performing ministers currently”.
“The reality today shows DAP ministers aren’t performing better but similar to BN (Barisan Nasional) ministers … today’s Chinese community views DAP as MCA 2.0,”

This is when an advocate for the voiceless drew a comparison between DAP and MCA whereby the latter “never claimed to be multiracial, hence their Chinese focus is expected”.
“But when DAP claims to be multi-racial yet most of their events and communications cater primarily to the Chinese community, it raises questions … You can’t claim to be for all races, then act otherwise. It’s called hypocrisy.”

At the end of the day, Jess dubbed DAP as “Democratic Acting Popular”.
“DAP deemed members of the PN (Perikatan Nasional) coalition, namely PAS and Bersatu, as racist parties when DAP within their own party practices racism,” she expounded.
“Hello DAP, how long do you want to cheat Malaysians? Malays, Chinese and Indians who left DAP all have one common comment which is DAP is 100% Chinese party”.
