DAP's Kerk Chee Yee said parties in PH should keep seat arrangements for the state polls behind closed doors, after PKR's Azman Abidin said his party is eyeing the DAP stronghold of Ayer Keroh.PETALING JAYA: A Melaka DAP leader is puzzled by a PKR leader laying claim to the seat of Ayer Keroh – a DAP stronghold – for the Nov 14 polls in Melaka.
Kerk Chee Yee, who was Ayer Keroh assemblyman from 2018 until the legislature's dissolution last month, said seat negotiations within Melaka Pakatan Harapan (PH) were completed some time ago.
"I don’t know what lies behind the statement. Ayer Keroh is among the eight seats allocated to DAP to contest, pending the announcement of candidates.
"I would also like to urge all parties (in PH) to keep seat arrangements or their ‘wishlist’ behind closed doors, as there are other issues that better serve the public interest that should be discussed publicly," he told FMT.
