GEORGE TOWN – There will be no political cooperation between DAP and Umno gearing up for the 15th general election (GE15), said DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng today.
Lim said the party’s stand had been consistent and DAP was only willing to cooperate where it would benefit the rakyat.
“As long as it is for the benefit of the people, we are willing to support...it is on an ad hoc basis, on issues related to the people. There will be no cooperation on a party-to-party basis with Umno,” he told a press conference here today.
He said that during the last parliamentary sitting, DAP also did not oppose the PAS government’s measures on Covid-19.
"Taking an ad hoc approach is not tantamount to working with Umno, that is still not the case. We are willing to cooperate where it benefits the rakyat, like convening Parliament,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Bagan MP said the party would not support party-hopping, in line with its principle of clean governance, even if it did not contradict the federal constitution. – Bernama, March 8, 2021
