A third DAP state youth wing has urged the party’s leadership to cut political ties with Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh, accusing him of perpetuating “hate politics” through his handling of the Jalur Gemilang issue.

In a statement, the Negeri Sembilan DAP Youth wing said Akmal’s actions in politicising the matter were excessive and deliberately framed to portray non-Malays as unpatriotic.
