DAP will remain steadfast and not withdraw support for the unity government following the Kuala Lumpur High Court’s decision to grant Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) on 47 graft charges, its vice-chairman, Nga Kor Ming, said.

Nga, who is also the local government development minister, said DAP is a party that remains loyal to its allies and faithful to its cause.  

“… will never withdraw support. DAP is a loyal friend and always faithful to the cause. You know DAP… delivered as promised,” he said at a press conference in Putrajaya today.

Nga was asked to comment on DAP’s position after the High Court’s decision to grant a DNAA to Zahid, who is also the Barisan Nasional chairman and Umno president, on his criminal breach of trust, corruption and money laundering charges in relation to Yayasan Akalbudi funds.

Nga also said Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman should meet and discuss with the unity government leadership if he is dissatisfied with the court’s decision.

“He is one of the MPs who support the government, so besides using the media, he should discuss with the government leadership. That would be more professional,” he said in response to Syed Saddiq’s statement that Muda would re-evaluate its position in the unity government following the latest development in Zahid’s court case. – Bernama, September 7, 2023.
