Hui Ying, Sivakumar, Kelvin appointed to DAP leadership
Newly appointed DAP central executive committee members Lim Hui Ying, V Sivakumar, and Dr Kelvin Yii are also the MPs for Tanjong, Batu Gajah, and Bandar Kuching, respectively.
PETALING JAYA : Deputy finance minister Lim Hui Ying has been appointed to the DAP central executive committee (CEC), party secretary-general Loke Siew Fook announced today.
Loke said the Tanjong MP is among 10 DAP members who were appointed to the party's top leadership after a meeting of the CEC yesterday.
The others who were appointed include former human resources minister V Sivakumar, Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii, Kota Kemuning assemblyman V Papparaidu, Buntong assemblyman M Thulsi Thivani, and Stulang assemblyman Chen Kah Eng.
Penang Port Commission chairman Yeoh Soon Hin, ex-Paloh assemblyman Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali, Kuala Lumpur DAP Youth chief Yap Yee Vonne, and former CEC member Wu Him Ven were also appointed to the committee.
Loke said the CEC also agreed to appoint former Damansara MP Tony Pua as chairman of DAP's disciplinary committee.
This gives Pua a role in the party's central leadership again after his failure to defend his spot in the CEC in 2022. He was not fielded as a candidate in the general election that year.
The CEC also appointed Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai as the party's second adviser after Lim Guan Eng, and Chong Chieng Jen as DAP's parliamentary leader.
Former deputy law minister Ramkarpal Singh meanwhile was made DAP's legal bureau chief.
Loke said the CEC also agreed on its eight representatives in the Pakatan Harapan presidential council, namely himself, Guan Eng, Gobind Singh Deo, Nga Kor Ming, Chong, Syahredzan Johan, Teo Nie Ching, and Woo Kah Leong.
