DAP veteran Teng explains why he plans to retire from politics, cites 'lack of space' to express his views


PETALING JAYA: DAP veteran leader Teng Chang Khim has revealed the reasons for his impending retirement from politics, citing a lack of space for him to express his views and that the party is focused on only superficial "skin-deep" reforms.

In an exclusive interview with Sin Chew Daily published Friday (Dec 11), the Selangor executive councillor, who has served 25 years as a DAP assemblyman, said many of the party’s plans emphasised reforms but were impractical and not result-oriented.
