(Kuala Lumpur, 18th) DAP Secretary-General Loke Siew Fook has strongly denied the existence of A and B factions within the DAP! He angrily rebuked UMNO President Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid: "Am I that stupid?"
He said Ahmad Zahid, during the UMNO General Assembly, claimed that Loke had told him there were A and B factions in the DAP. Loke firmly denied this statement.
"I want to strongly deny this! I have never spoken about this topic!"
"I told UMNO that there is a B faction within DAP? Am I that stupid? If there was a B faction, would I go and tell another political party? If I did that, I would be the dumbest politician!"
Loke made a strong rebuttal to Ahmad Zahid's accusation while delivering a speech at the Selangor DAP Annual Delegates Conference today.
He emphasized that there is no A, B, or C faction within DAP; they only have the “Rocket Team.”
He said although there may be differing opinions within DAP, they address them internally.
"Within DAP, we can have different opinions, and we will handle them. We will be open and honest (internally). But outwardly, we are a united, disciplined, and unbreakable party!"
He mocked UMNO for thinking they could use old methods to divide other parties, but stressed that DAP would never fall into that trap.
