In response to the news of the recent arrest of outspoken activist Jufazli who was described as “former DAP member”, I would like to urge all media to stop referring him as a former DAP member as his application has never been approved in the first place.
Even though he did officially submit the membership form in the middle of the year 2017, his membership application has undergone internal review since. Even though he has been employed as DAP Sabah Advisor Jimmy Wong’s political secretary, but he left Sabah and his job after three months. Therefore, his membership was never approved. Hence, he was never a DAP member to begin with, let alone a “former” one.
During the last general election, Jufazli also stood as an independent candidate competing against DAP candidate Frankie Poon in Tanjung Papat state seat, this is in serious violation of our Party Constitution and any DAP member doing so would have been kicked out from the party, if he/she is a member.”
As such, I urge all friends of the media to stop associating Jufazli with DAP or referring him as a former member of the party as his membership was never approved and as such, he never formally became a DAP member.
