Ex-major Zaidi crosses over from Amanah to DAP
Penang DAP has announced the entry of seven new members, including two formerly from PAS and one notably from Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah), which is the party’s ally in Pakatan Harapan.
State DAP chief Chow Kon Yeow and Wong Hon Wai, political secretary to Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, made the announcement today.
