DAP youth to cease cooperation with PAS counterpart

(The Star) – DAP Socialist Youth (Dapsy) will no longer be working with Pas Youth, said its chief Teo Kok Seong.

“Today, the Dapsy executive council has decided by consensus to stop all forms of cooperation with PAS Youth at the state level throughout Malaysia and at the central level,” said the Rasah MP in a statement on Thursday.

Teo added that the decision was made following the passing of amendments to the Syariah Criminal Code II 1993 at the the Kelantan state assembly on Thursday.

“This has set aside the joint agreement of Pakatan Rakyat,” he said.

Teo’s statement follows on the heels of other voices of opposition within Pakatan Rakyat.

The amendments to Kelantan’s Syariah Criminal Code 1993 were passed by the state legislative assembly on Thursday.

The vote was passed unanimously by 44 assemblymen comprising 31 from PAS, 12 from Umno and one from PKR.
