KUALA LUMPUR – DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang will contest in the party’s upcoming central executive committee election scheduled in June.

However, the Iskandar Puteri MP said he will not be aiming for any top position in the party.

“I am prepared to be defeated in the party election, where I have dedicated more than 55 years of my life in pursuit of the ‘Malaysian Dream’.”

Lim served as DAP secretary-general from 1969 to 1999, before being elected second chairman after the 1999 general election.

However, he declined the position after the 2004 general election. – Bernama, April 15, 2021
