The resignation of three DAP state assemblymen and a member of parliament (MP) in Melaka today shows the split in the DAP's leadership.
MCA president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said this shows the political confusion among the party's leaders which was not only happening in Melaka but also elsewhere.
"The resignation of elected representatives shows a serious split is taking place in the DAP," he told reporters near here, today.
The three state assemblymen who resigned were Lim Jak Wong (Bachang), Chin Choon Seong (Kesidang) and Goh Leong San (Duyong).
The member of parliament who resigned was Sim Tong Him (Kota Melaka).
Their resignations were confirmed by Melaka DAP chairman Tey Kok Kiew at a press conference at the State DAP office in Melaka Sunday.
Sim, representing the three other elected representatives, told a press conference today that they have lost confidence and are disappointed in the DAP leadership.
He claimed that the DAP leadership has deviated from the party's original struggle.
Liow, who is also transport minister, said the resignation of the four DAP elected representatives revealed the real attitude of the DAP leadership who made decisions based on self interest and did not consider other people.
