IPOH, Sept 8 (Bernama) -- Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming has retained his position as Perak DAP chairman after winning the election uncontested at the 20th Perak State DAP Convention held here today.
This marks his 11th year in the role, following an election process that takes place every three years.
In a noteworthy outcome, all 15 candidates nominated by the state committee also won unopposed.
"For us, the 'Stronger Together' team, this victory signifies a major responsibility and trust. We are committed to upholding this confidence and will adhere to the 3B principles - to serve, to contribute and to make a difference," Nga told a press conference after the convention.
He assured that DAP will continue to support its coalition partners within the Unity Government.
Earlier, DAP secretary-general and Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook officiated the convention.
In his speech, Nga thanked four individuals, namely, Buntong assemblyman M. Thulsi, Keranji assemblyman Angeline Koo Hai Yen, Jelapang assemblyman Cheah Pou Hian and Tronoh assemblyman Steven Tiw Tee Siang, who withdrew their nominations to strengthen the team.
"Although 19 individuals were nominated, we could only select 15. These four colleagues chose to withdraw voluntarily, embodying the spirit of 'Stronger Together.' Their sacrifice ensured that the state committee achieved an unprecedented 100 per cent victory," Nga said.
In addition, Nga announced that Perak DAP will allocate RM400,000 to support the party’s initiatives.
Of this amount, RM200,000 will be directed to the Perak DAP Welfare Fund to support veteran members, while the remaining RM200,000 will be designated for the Perak DAP Student Aid Fund to assist the children of party members pursuing higher education at public universities.
