ROS: Many DAP members did not get notice on national congress

(Bernama) – Investigations by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) found that many DAP members who were eligible to attend its national congress on Dec 15 last year did not receive notice on it, said ROS director-general Datuk Abdul Rahman Othman.

He said this was found after investigations were made on complaints by DAP members on not being given the notice.

“DAP members who did not receive the notice were denied the right to vote and choose the leaders they wanted at the congress,” Abdul Rahman said in a statement here yesterday.

He said that the ROS would continue investigations on other issues raised by complainants, and go through all documents submitted before arriving at a decision on the validity of the congress based on the Societies Act 1966.

The election of DAP’s Central Executive Committee at the congress became an issue after complaints were lodged by various members that the party did not give notice on it to 753 delegates who were valid voters.
