Tonight’s fund-raising dinner by the Mersing DAP Branch is most unique and significant.
DAP is not contesting in Mersing parliamentary or the two constituent Tenggaroh and Endau State Assembly seats. PPBM will be contesting in Mersing parliamentary and Endau State Assembly seat while PKR is contesting in the Tenggaroh State Assembly seat.
Yet I am here tonight with the DAP’s candidate for Bakri, Yeo Bee Yin, to give full support for this dinner to urge the people of Mersing to solidly vote for the Bersatu candidates for Mersing parliamenentary seat and Endau State Assembly seat as well as PKR candidate for the Tenggaroh state assembly seat – testimony of DAP’s commitment to ensure the victory of all Pakatan Harapan candidates, whether PKR, Amanah, Bersatu or DAP, to win in the 14th General Election on May 9, 2018.
This was the DAP’s supreme commitment to a victory by all Pakatan Harapan candidates in both Parliamentary and state assembly seats, not only in Johore, but in every state in Peninsular Malaysia that was behind the DAP leadership’s difficult and agonizing decision to make the great sacrifice not to use the Rocket logo in the 14th General Election but to use the Pakatan Harapan common logo of PKR’s blue-eyes logo.
This is why although this is a DAP and Rocket dinner, there is no Rocket logo, but only the Pakatah Harapan common logo of the PKR’s blue-eyes symbol! This makes tonight’s dinner most historic in Malaysia – as the first of its kind in Malaysia for over half a century!
Let every Malaysian, organization and political party be prepared to make sacrifices for the supreme collective effort – first time in the nation’s 61-year history – to Save Malaysia from becoming a failed, rogue and kleptocratic state to become an united, democratic, progressive, prosperous top-class world nation.
Our message to all Malaysians tonight is to unite as one strong and solid Malaysian people in the 14th General Election on May 9, 2018 regardless of race, religion, region or even political party, including the 3.6 million UMNO members, the one million MCA members and another million PAS members, to unite in the 14th General Election to vote for Pakatan Harapan on May 9, 2018 to Save Malaysia.
