DAP reps who fail to meet KPI will be replaced, warns Loke

DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke has warned elected representatives from the party that they will be replaced if they fail to meet the party’s standard of performance.

He said the party leadership will always assess the performance of all DAP elected representatives, be they at the federal level, state level, or in the local government.

"We must remember that when we are entrusted with such a big mandate, the people's expectations are also very high.

"Therefore, the entire leadership and membership of DAP must continue to work hard, and most importantly, we must remind ourselves to always serve the people," Loke (above) said in his speech at the 22nd Perak DAP Convention today.

Also present was Perak DAP chairperson Nga Kor Ming.

Loke said all of them are required to play an important role in ensuring that the government's policies and operations run smoothly at all levels and benefit the people, which serves as the primary Key Performance Indicator (KPI) and objective that they need to fulfil.

"The most important thing we must remind ourselves every day is that when we hold a position, it is a trust and responsibility that we need to fulfil for the benefit of the country, state, and people.

"You have been entrusted, given the opportunity to be DAP candidates. We must do our best, never embarrass the party by not fulfilling our responsibilities as a candidate and representative of the people,” he added.

Others ready

The transport minister said DAP has a lineup of potential second-liners who could be given the opportunity to be the people’s elected representative.

In Perak alone, he said, there are 99 local council members, along with more than 100 village chiefs and community leaders.

"In every election, there are elected representatives who want to retire or resign so there will be opportunities for these people," he added.
