COMMENT | Be advised, DAP leaders - don’t get personal

COMMENT | Just when we thought that the DAP was the only political party left with no serious nagging issues, came their sick and immature public display of internal politicking this past week.

Oh dear, surely the DAP can do better than this. Over the past few days, some party leaders must have relished taking potshots at each other. Alas, that seemed to be the case when strongly-worded terms are used gleefully in attacking party colleagues.

However, those outside the party, DAP supporters, in particular, must surely want to tell those responsible that they should be ashamed of their mischievous behaviour in public. Why mischievous? Because this whole name-calling circus was unnecessary and unwarranted.

That some partaking in the ugly episode comprise those who are supposedly more professional and disciplined added to the disappointment among DAP supporters.

Has a “Chinese chauvinist versus multi-racial” war started in the DAP? Is this what the recent commotion all about?
