Today we are pleased to announce that the Penang DAP is proposing that Jeff Ooi, Prof. P.Ramasamy and Liew Chin Tong be selected to contest in Penang in the coming general election.

We believe that their selection would contribute to our effort in securing better electoral results in Penang.

We recognise that the people have decided to give their support to the DAP but they also wanted the party to present a strong slate of candidate in Penang.

Besides prevailing political environment and strategies, the selection of candidates and their placement in either Parliament and state seat is becoming an important factor for voters.

It is because of this, the Penang committee has decided to recomment to the National Candidate Selection Committee to consider Jeff Ooi, Prof Ramasamy and Chin Tong to contest in Penang.

They are potential candidates of high calibre and they are willing to contribute to the future development of Penang and Malaysia.
