DAP’s drive to make itself a more appealing party to Malay voters is paying off, said lawyer-politician Syahredzan Johan.

Perceptions of Malays who join the multiracial but largely Chinese opposition party is slowly improving, thanks to urbanisation and greater exposure of Malays to what the party has done, the political secretary to DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang told The Malaysian Insight.

“With higher education and urbanisation, more are now studying, working and living in Pakatan Harapan (PH) states,” said the activist-turned-politician during an interview at a cafe in Bangi on Tuesday.

“Take the azan issue for instance. Before this, our political rivals liked to say that the call to prayer will be stopped in the DAP states but nothing has happened in Penang, Selangor or Negeri Sembilan,” said the 39-year-old. – July 6, 2022.
