(Petaling Jaya, Saturday) : A new Selangor DAP will emerge as a progressive and proactive team to move into 2007, following an emergency state committee meeting held yesterday.

 

The emergency state committee meeting was convened yesterday based on the letter of request from 13 out of 20 state committee members, which was addressed to the state secretary on 10 th January 2006.

 

In order to achieve an efficient, vibrant, proactive, smooth-running state committee with strong leadership, the state committee had yesterday unanimously adopted a motion to re-elect a new State Chairman in order to achieve the objective - to upgrade the capacity of DAP Selangor in facing the coming general election. This is also in accordance with the wills of the majority of the state committee members.

 

On the other hand, the state committee has also unanimously decided that the general election preparation committee set up recently was null and void as the expanded committee has not been endorsed and approved by the Selangor DAP state committee. The state committee has also resolved to form a new 5-man general election preparation committee and will invite Sdr Teng Chang Khim to chair the committee. The state committee will appoint another four members into the committee. We will define its terms of reference in the next state committee meeting.

 

There was a total of 14 state committee members attended the emergency state committee meeting yesterday. They were Vice Chairman Sdr S. Selvadurai, State Secretary Sdr Ean Yong Hian Wah, State Assistant Secretary Sdri Teoh Wai Keng, State Organising Secretary Sdr Cheong Kai Cheng, Assistant State Organising Secretary M. Pulanthran, State Publicity Secretary Sdr Lau Weng San, State Political Education Bureau Director Sdri Lee Kee Hiong, State Committee Member Sdri Chong Kar Fatt, Edward Phang, Liu Tian Khiew, Peter Tan and Lim Lip Eng. The meeting was chaired by Vice Chairman Sdr S. Selvadurai.

 

Sdri Ean Yong Hian Wah is later elected as State Chairman by the state committee, while Sdr Lau Weng San is elected as the State Secretary and Sdr Lim Lip Eng as State Publicity Secretary. Other positions remain unchanged. We are confident that Sdr Ong Chee Keng would respect and accept the democratic decision and we would like to welcome him to continue to work together in the spirit of teamwork as he is still one of the state committee members.

 

With the latest line-up, we believe that Selangor DAP will be able to serve the rakyat and the party better.
