Liu confirms quitting DAP soon

KLANG: DAP veteran Ronnie Liu (pic) says he will be quitting the party soon.”I have to as I have no choice,” he said yesterday.

The Selangor political grapevine is abuzz with talk that Liu will be bidding the party goodbye after being a loyalist for decades.

When asked if he was indeed quitting, he declined to confirm exactly when he would be walking out of DAP.

“I will be quitting the party soon and will be issuing a statement,” said the Sungai Pelek assemblyman.

Liu, who was once DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang’s blue-eyed boy, fell out with the party recently due to various differences.

He has been the state assemblyman for Sungai Pelek since 2018.

He was also the member of Selangor state executive committee for local government, research and development, and Pandamaran assemblyman from 2008 to 2013.

On Oct 23, 2019, he criticised then prime minister and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed for not being in line with the Pakatan Harapan ideology.

Bersatu members in turn denounced Liu, who was subsequently summoned to appear before the DAP disciplinary committee.
