This is one email I received on 1st December
1999:
"I am a 36-year-old
muslim malay lady living in Selangor. I’ve read in the newspaper that DAP
would probably opt out
of BA coalition in the next general election. Why? Do you know that there are many of the malays beginning to understand what DAP is all about specially among the younger generation? "Remember that this
younger generation will be the next set of leaders and they can make the
difference. If DAP were
to leave BA, then DAP has disillusioned us. Please don’t leave. "DAP should first get
itself organised. Then, keep on explaining to the older generation of the
malay community that
DAP is not what BN makes it out to be. "The struggle doesn’t stop
here. Ever since DAP has decided to join the coalition, many of us have begun to
admire the
views of some of the DAP leaders and the frankness that they exhibit. At least, we know where you stand unlike the MIC, MCA and Gerakan which are pretentious. "Please don’t leave those
who have worked so hard for the election. Keep their spirits up. With DAP
leaving BA, then
that will be a blow to some of them. They need your words of support, appreciation, and encouragement. Prove to them that DAP leaders are not losers." |
