SeaDemon Says
There is nothing democratic about the Democratic Action Party (DAP).
Before the results of the party’s election on 15 December 2012 got changed because Microsoft Excel did not give the DAP a good version of the software, the Top 20 results were as follows:
- Lim Kit Siang – 1,607 votes

- Karpal Singh – 1,411 votes
- Anthony Loke – 1,202 votes
- Vincent Wu – 1,202 votes
- Tan Kok Wai – 1.199 votes
- Gobindh Sing Deo – 1,197 votes
- Tony Pua – 1,162 votes
- Teng Chang Khim – 1,152 votes
- Fong Kui Lun – 1,137 votes
- Nga Kor Ming – 1,075 votes
- Chong Chieng Jen – 1,011 votes
- Chong Eng – 1,006 votes
- Chow Kon Yeow – 985 votes
- M Kulasegaran – 984 votes
- Liew Chin Tong – 984 votes
- Dr Boo Cheng Hau – 958 votes
- Teresa Kok – 925 votes
- Teo Nie Cheng – 903 votes
- Ngeh Koo Ham – 824 votes
