Pahang assembly deputy speaker is now state DAP chief

Pahang State Legislative Assembly deputy speaker Lee Chin Chen was elected as the state DAP chairperson effective yesterday.

The Bilut assemblyperson Lee succeeds veteran party leader, Leong Ngah Ngah, who has served as the state DAP chairperson since 2015.

Expressing his gratitude to Leong for his decades of contribution to the state DAP since the 1980s, Lee (above) acknowledged the weight of the responsibility Leong had shouldered.

Lee also stated that he and the new leadership are committed to advancing the state's development and attracting more young people to join the party's cause.

“The coalition government is facing significant challenges, particularly in the context of managing diverse ideologies and leadership styles within the administration,” he said in a statement.

“However, the experience of the past two years demonstrates that the coalition government model yields positive outcomes.

“It not only provides stability to the nation but also drives economic transformation and effectively counters racist attacks and religious extremism,” he said.

Yesterday's meeting also elected new committee members, including M Manogaran, the former Cameron Highlands parliamentary candidate in 2018 as deputy chairperson; along with Bentong MP Young Syefura Othman and Mentakab assemblyperson Woo Chee Wan as vice-chairpersons.
