DAP’s multiracial future
DAP's Anthony Loke acknowledged what the party rarely spoke about publicly - the tussle between the pro-multiracial and pro-Chinese factions in DAP.
Loke said he did not discount efforts that were being made to oust DAP leaders who want the party to become more multiracial.
Conservative forces in the party have grown stronger as they rode on the Chinese backlash from 2019 over the introduction of three pages of Jawi lessons for Year 4 students, putting the pro-multiracial faction, which defended the policy, on the defensive.
DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang was among those who had put himself in the crossfire to defend the policy as he urged Malaysians to set aside their mutual fear.
