The DAP leadership will ignore complaints made by several members who are dissatisfied with party secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and the recent central executive committee (CEC) polls, said national organising secretary Anthony Loke Siew Fook.
Through letters sent to the Registrar of Societies (ROS) this morning, some DAP members said Lim was not the secretary-general due to the invalid Dec 15, 2012 CEC polls and thus did not have the power to call for the re-election.
“We have complied with the ROS and are not afraid because we have followed its directive.
“These are just a few troublemakers who want to disturb the party and keep the issue alive. As far as we are concerned, it is no longer an issue,” the Seremban MP told FMT.
Loke said the directive from the ROS stipulated that the new congress must consist of previous CEC leaders.
He explained that Lim was the former secretary-general, therefore “there is no issue with this”.
Loke said it was up to DAP’s disciplinary committee (DC) to take disciplinary action against the rogue members.
Earlier today, Taman Seri branch assistant secretary Wong Yu Liuh said there were no office bearers in the CEC until a proper re-election was held.
Wong said as such, Lim was not the legal secretary-general and could not sign any documents.
He said Lim had no respect for the Societies Act, ROS and the DAP Constitution by giving only four weeks notice.
