It was highlighted by NST that DAP initially allocated two positions for Indians in EXCO, and the balance four for the Chinese assemblymen. Howeve, only one was selected in the end<\/a>. Now, Buntong assemblyman causes a bomb by quitting DAP. He will be independent candidate or will join MIC \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Now, the DAP-PKR-PAS coalition is only leading by 2 seats. Anytime now BN can get two more assemblymen to jump or resign, and the new coalition will collapse.<\/p>\n

According to the Star<\/a>, Sivasubramaniam said:<\/p>\n

He added the decision was a “big slap” in the face of Perak Indians and tantamount to deceiving the community.<\/p>\n

“My victory in Buntong was a mandate given by the Indian community in the area, and therefore I cannot accept the decision made by the Perak DAP,” he added.When contacted, Sivasubramaniam said he would not vacate his seat and would instead serve as an independent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“I have no intention of joining any Barisan component party but will fight for the people of Buntong as an independent,” he said.<\/p>\n

He also questioned why DAP central executive committee member A. Sivanesan, who is from Selangor, was chosen as an exco over other Perak DAP leaders.<\/p>\n

Sivasubramaniam claimed that he and state party committee member and Tronoh assemblyman V. Sivakumar were supposed to get the exco posts as they had worked hard and sacrificed a lot for the party.<\/p>\n

He added that even if an Indian Perak DAP member were to get an assembly Speaker or Deputy Speaker post, it could not “do much for the Indian community.”<\/p>\n

“This is not right. The leadership should be discussing the allocation of exco posts and other appointments with all 18 DAP assemblymen,” said Sivasubramaniam.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
