IPOH: Perak Pakatan Harapan component parties are willing to discuss the matter of seat allocations, including the possibility of DAP contesting more seats in the next general election compared to GE14.
State Parti Amanah Negara chairman Datuk Asmuni Awi said the matter could be discussed. We also need to see the political impact, he said, adding that it should be done if it was positive but not if the reverse was true. We will need to sit down and discuss it properly, the Manjoi assemblyman told reporters when met the 19th Perak DAP state convention here on Sunday (March 14).

IPOH: Perak DAP has taken to task three of its state assemblymen for criticising its party leadership during the state political impasse.
In a joint statement issued by 17 of its state representatives on their Facebook page, they called out Leong Cheok Keng (Malim Nawar), Leow Thye Yih (Pokok Assam) and Terence Naidu (Pasir Bedamar) for issuing statements without going through the proper channels.
They said all three have violated party discipline for the statements they made, which had hurt its image. We regret that some people have taken the opportunity to criticise the party leadership, when we were working hard to resolve the political crisis. They claim to represent the party, but what they did proved otherwise and to achieve their own political goals, they said.
