DAP to play check-and-balance role after retaining four significant seats in Melaka

Melaka DAP vows to strengthen its check-and-balance role after defending four strongholds in the state election, while pledging to address weaknesses and regain public support

MELAKA: Party DAP’s success in defending its four strongholds in the 16th Melaka State Election – namely the Ayer Keroh, Bandar Hilir, Kesidang, and Kota Laksamana State Legislative Assembly (DUN) seats – reflects voter support and the party’s significant position in those areas.

Melaka DAP Chairman Khoo Poay Tiong said that the results in the three new seats contested by DAP – Gadek, Pengkalan Batu, and Duyong – also showed that the party’s candidates managed to retain their respective deposits, including in seats previously predicted to suffer heavy defeats.
