Thank you.

23 June 2009, Ms.Carol from YB Liew Chin Tong’s office contacted me.
I have submitted DAP memberhip application 11 June 2006.

Rgds : Atila

I m a Malay Penangite and have been keeping the intention to join DAP since 2005, while working for a main-con in a mega govt project.

After a discussion at my kampung on JKKK(N) the 24May2009, i have had it when the rep from PAS & Chairman of JKKK(N) who practised “partisan politics” rite before my eyes just becoz i dont have a political party membership now and to make thing worst that i was from UMNO with a 23 year ordinary membership (daddy registered me at age 18) which ended
in August 2008.

That nite i was cornered to explain myself TWICE why i want to be in the AJK JKKK and they intended to vote – How many find me truthfull??
Two PKR life members intervened by saying “is JKKK meant for PAS”,
then voting didnt take place.

I want to contribute to my kampung but felt humiliated that nite, many Malays are less educated that i m, they were flexing off some ego & their membership in PAS PKR.

Although the PAS rep tried to solve their suspicious towards me as amicably as possible by “accepting” me that night with some Arabic words & Quran verses (i m not so pious to begin with), it potrayed
that partisan politics is strong within PAS & PKR.

Sir, back to my interest to join DAP, where can i refer to know how many Malays in DAP Penang? I havent decided on which branch/div yet. DAP Tanjong attracted me for its transparency to show its Kadun peruntukan in its website. CM has a very efficient Sec Pol who replies emails even on Sundays. I view DAP is much connected to people and hope CM will continue to do more for people : to balance up the race esp in per capita income, for a better society.

Thank you.
Atila.
