DAP reps quit after losing party elections, Guan Eng says
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 13 — DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng claimed today that Kota Melaka MP Sim Tong Him and his faction resigned because they could not accept their defeat in the 2015 state party elections.
Lim accused Sim and his faction of attacking the party after the 2015 DAP Malacca state convention instead of training their guns on the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN).
“Instead of working to win back the confidence of DAP Melaka members, they turned against DAP for spurning them, leading to a one-year suspension by the party,” Lim said in a statement, referring to Sim and the three state assemblymen who quit the DAP — Goh Leong San (Duyong), Lim Jack Wong (Bachang), and Chin Choong Seong (Kesidang).

.@cmlimguaneng: Quitting of four a ‘gift’ to @barisanasional in GE14 https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/372265
He said the BN received the “gift” despite being mired in massive corruption scandals involving the 1MDB (RM52 billion) and Felda’s RM4.3 billion missing funds.
He said the resignations were “unexpected” as one of the members, Kota Melaka MP Sim Tong Him, was personally handpicked by Lim Kit Siang to stand in the 1986 general election.

Unlikely more DAP members will quit, says analyst
PETALING JAYA: Will more quit DAP and follow in the footsteps of four elected representatives from Malacca?
Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani, an analyst with Bower Group Asia, a political risk consulting firm, does not think so.
“We don’t have the ‘lompat’ party circus we see among PKR, Bersatu and Umno.
“DAP has always been a well-organised and tightly controlled party,” said Asrul.
The four DAP leaders who resigned were Kota Melaka MP Sim Tong Him, Bachang assemblyman Lim Jak Wong, Kesidang assemblyman Chin Choon Seong and Duyong assemblyman Goh Leong San.
They claimed they were resigning as the party leadership had deviated from its original objectives.
