4 TIMES GUINNESS WORLD FOR SAPP

By : JUNZ WONG

DAP Sabah is surprised that SAPP is not recognising the contribution of DAP in nation building, to realise a Malaysian Malaysia.

Henry Shim, DAPSY KK organizing secretary said SAPP should look at the struggle of DAP for the last 46 years standing up to injustices and upholding the principles of the Constitution.

We are sad that Edward Dagul views on DAP’s electoral gains very negatively and thus, shows the true colour of the leader and his party.

We must however thank Dagul for his confidence on DAP Sabah to win at least six seats in the coming 13th general election. Dagul must have realized that DAP and Pakatan Rakyat can easily deny BN its two third majority in the State Assembly and to provide enough MP seats to get Pakatan Rakyat into Putrajaya if there is a one-to-one fight with BN. The two-party system that we are consolidating is the right direction towards achieving this goal.

Unless the local opposition parties cooperate with Pakatan Rakyat then the prediction by Dagul on DAP Sabah winning six seats is not possible.

Henry Shim who is also Api Api Branch vice chairman said Ideally SAPP should join Pakatan Rakyat and together we will change the political landscape in Sabah and Malaysia. Let there be no doubt where SAPP is standing in this election.

Now that Sapp has chosen to stand in between PR/BN as so called '3rd Force' is undesirable. People would see SAPP more rather as BN agent to act as a spoiler to hinder the nation towards achieving a 2 party-system.

Henry continued to explain, SAPP stand is either here nor there. Without a stand maybe perceived as political opportunist by the voters. It was no secret that people were asking these questions.

Henry also reminded the rakyat that Sapp top leaders have 4 times Guinness World Record of jumping in & out of BN! 1986/1990/1994/2009

"What's stopping Sapp of joining back to BN in 2012?" Henry asked.

DAP Sabah hopes that SAPP leaders such as Dagul does not jeopardise the common ground we share.

"It is our duty to inform the people what is DAP and naturally, we would like to tell them about the political position of the party in the country. We cannot understand why doing such is deemed to intimidate Sabahans. We cannot see any relationship between these two matters," Henry added.

DAP Sabah would like to remind Dagul that DAP has a 46-year struggle and during those years it has seen and experience up and downs.

There is no need for Dagul to remind us about it. Our confidence is based on the party’s struggle having credible and committed leaders with high integrity and honesty.

"We let the people judge us. If we have met their expectation we are sure to win more than the six seats predicted by Dagul."

DAP Sabah respects our national leaders. Leader such as Tan Kok Wai is a 6-term Member of Parliament. Being the DAP National Director of Election he is the best person to answer questions pertaining to seat allocations and so forth.

Tan has already confirmed that DAP Sabah will contest 20 State and 10 MP seats. PKR and PAS are also contesting. Indeed, Pakatan Rakyat Sabah will contest 60 State and 25 MP seats.

"However the situation will alter if local parties join Pakatan Rakyat. To put the record right Tan Kok Wai did not say that Pakatan Rakyat will sweep all the seats in Sabah without any room for local parties," Henry concluded.
