DAP HOPES FOR ANWAR TO MAKE COMEBACK SOON


The DAP hopes that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim can make a comeback as a member of parliament as soon as possible and help transform Malaysia into a healthy functioning democracy, its secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said today. The party would continue to work with its allies -- Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and non-governmental organisations -- on this, he said in his keynote address to party members, including the newly-elected members of parliament and state assemblymen at its 42nd anniversary and national convention here. Anwar will be able to hold political office after April 15 this year when the restriction on him to contest in elections and hold political positions is lifted. Lim said the DAP, as a party, "must at all times guard against complacency for just as Malaysians voted for DAP in this election, they can just as easily vote the party out should we fail to deliver." He said that in 1990, the DAP won a record number of state seats but within a single term, in 1995, it was "punished" by the voters and suffered one of the worst electoral defeats in its history
