00:00Delegates from DAP signalled a shift away from senior dominance in leadership roles
00:07during Sunday's party election, as seen in outgoing chairman Lim Kwan-ying's poor
00:11performance, ranking 26th in the 30-member Central Executive Committee.
00:16The senior leader said his low ranking reflected the party's desire for a less arrogant leadership
00:21style, attributing his loss to his strong-arm tactics against Penang Chief Minister Chow
00:26Kwan-yao.
00:29Party insiders suggested that appointing Kwan-ying as an adviser was a way to ease him out while
00:33honouring his father Kit-siang's contributions.
00:37With Kwan-ying no longer chairman, the power to select electoral candidates now shifts
00:41to his successor, Gobind Singh Deo, along with Secretary-General Lok Siw Fook and Deputy
00:47Chairman Ngakor Ming, who retain their positions.
00:51Another senior party leader said Kwan-ying may be asked to stand down before the next
00:56due to pending court cases, which is what coalition partners PKR and UMNO prefer.
01:02Meanwhile, former Klang MP Charles Santiago said that without Kwan-ying's presence in
01:07mainstream leadership, Lok will have more control over executive decisions, providing
01:12an opportunity to reshape DAP as a more inclusive, multiracial party.
01:17He also acknowledged challenges in regaining Indian and Malay voter support, but expressed
01:22optimism that the inclusion of new faces in the CEC signals the emergence of a reformed
01:27DAP.
