The undemocratic Democratic Action Party
Political parties are dominated by warlords
The DAP state party elections over the weekend showed just how the DAP is controlled by ‘warlords’ and not the party membership.
Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh narrowly defeated the Bukit Mertajam MP Steven Sim to the No. 1 spot in the party vote. Ramkarpal Singh obtained 1,247 votes to Sim’s 1.237. Within an hour of the votes being put up on the telly board, the news broke out that Steven Sim would be the next Penang Party Chairman.
Something happened during that hour where the warlords of the DAP persuaded Ramkarpal Singh to forgo the Penang DAP chairmanship.
A similar situation occurred in the Selangor DAP party elections back in 2015. Gobind Deo topped the polls, and Tony Pua came in 8th position, but was reappointed as Selangor Chairman.
What’s the point of holding party elections? The real power in the party is held by a few families who continue to influence who runs the party. Who the membership actually vote for is just disregarded.
These practices are not just limited to the DAP. UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and his deputy Mohamed Hasan escaped any election for their positions after the last general election in the name of keeping stability.
PKR is just the same, where ‘leaders’ are parachuted into vice president positions after party elections have been held.
Malaysian political parties have a total disregard for party democracy. Its very evident that party memberships don’t really exercise any sovereignty in their respective parties. Malaysian political parties are nothing more than platforms for political warlords.
Before there can be any reform in Malaysia, the political parties themselves must be democratic. Â

The DAP were never ever Democratic. They were and remain an extension of the dirty chauvanistic Kuomintang Chinese of South East Asia. They are a Chinese only party.
After laying claim to South East Asia with all sorts of spurious lies about the Thais, Vietnamese, Cambodians and Lao, the Malay, the Philipino and Indonesian all being of Chinese extraction to justify their Sinofication of South East Asia (an extension of Tongsan), they fortunately for us ran into a brick wall with the Malays resisting their claims.
The Karpal Singh clan are a bunch of "house niggers" (Malcolm X's description of their ilk). Token Indians and non Chinese. They may have law degrees but in their minds they remain jagas and water buffalo herdsmen. They would sleep with anyone for a buck ;or should the b in that word be replaced with a f instead.
The DAP were and remain a bunch of Chinese thugs, bribe givers, undemocratic in every respeect, descendants of drug pushers (opium dens and distributors) the pimps of Penang, Ipoh Taiping, and all big cities in the Chinese valleys of areas surrounding Kuala Lumpur. Thats where their wealth is derived from. Human locusts. peddlers of human misery.
The DAP and MCA are descended of pimps, political and social. A party without morals.
Regarding your 2nd paragraph, to wit:
"A similar situation occurred in the Selangor DAP party elections back in 2025. Gobind Deo topped the polls, and Tony Pua came in 8th position, but was reappointed as Selangor Chairman"
There are a couple of errors. The party polls was in 2018, and not in the future 2025. And Tony Pua did NOT become Chairman after the polls - Gobind did.
