The DAP central executive committee (CEC) on Monday night decided that the party will not quit Pakatan Rakyat, a source says.

This is despite DAP earlier accusing its partner PAS for reneging on a promise not to table a bill on hudud without Pakatan consensus.

"Tonight’s decision was unanimous and did not go through a vote," a CEC member said when met after the closed-door meeting at the DAP headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

The member who declined to be named said DAP will observe the situation for an unstipulated period of time before reviewing the matter.

Met after the meeting, DAP organising secretary Anthony Loke (right) declined to reveal the outcome but said it was "positive".

"It is positive for the rakyat and disappointing to Umno and BN," he told reporters.

He said a DAP will release a press statement later.

Pua: Some wanted to break away

DAP national publicity secretary Tony Pua confirmed that the meeting was focused on discussing DAP's position in Pakatan.

"Tonight’s discussion was intense and all sorts of options were being considered.

"They (the CEC members) were very open. Everyone knows the issues involved – do we break (away from Pakatan), do we hang on, what the issues (are), how (it will) effect DAP and Pakatan.

"There are people who want us to break (from Pakatan) immediately, there are people who say we should stay together," he said.

All eyes are on Pakatan to see if the young coalition is heading for a break-up after the Kelantan government tabled the Kelantan Syariah Code II 1993 (Amendment 2015).

The PAS-led Kelantan did so despite objections from DAP and PKR.

On Monday, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang was acting like Umno's "trojan horse" and provoking a Pakatan break-up.

Lim said Hadi's outcry that DAP did not consult Pakatan on local government elections two years ago was untrue and an after-thought to justify PAS unilaterally pushing for hudud.
