Ronnie-Tee struggle must settle soonest
The Selangor DAP factional fighting had now come to a final blow, its Klang parliamentary liaison committee chairman Tee Boon Hock was expelled from the party for alleged misused of a state exco's official letterhead.
While the self-proclaimed victim, state executive councillor Ronnie Liu made a police report over his official letterheads being misused, the DAP disciplinary committee is also conducting its own investigation onto this case.
We all know this is no ordinary case at all. We all know that Ronnie and Tee were once allies in the party and the latter eventually left the other's office due to some issues. And after that Tee was said to be going closer to another DAP leader Teng Chang Khim who is also the Selangor state assembly speaker.
This is a very clear factional fight between two prominent groups in the Selangor DAP following the upcoming party election in the state which is scheduled to commence this mid of August.
Each of these leaders are gearing up for the party election, which saw the formation of party branches in the state became triple of its total number, from only 20 branches in 2008, it now has about 400 branches - scrambles from both factions to establish these branches were to secure their control over the local levels in order for them to go for the top ones, both in the state committee and the central committee as well.
If this is left unattended by the party's national leaders, the internal struggle in the Selangor DAP could affect its political influence and strength soon.
The party central committee, its national leaders, Ronnie and Tee as well as the rest must come forward to settle this as soon as possible for the sake of the unity and the stability of the party and only for one or two person or any leaders concerned.
Whatever scores between Ronnie and Tee had in the past and present, pour it out in the presence of the national leaders and settle their claims as soon as possible. This is for the sake of the party and the people who had voted you into power in the last general election.
Please remember the importance of the people and voters. We are the ones who put you up there and we could bring you down if you are not performing. This is the fact.
