DAP central committee to meet Tues over Karpal-Ramasamy spat

(The Star) – DAP’s central executive committee will meet Tuesday to discuss the warlod-godfather’ spat between party chairman Karpal Singh and deputy secretary-general Dr P. Ramasamy.

The meeting will take place at the party headquarters in Kuala Lumpur where top leaders, such as party adviser Lim Kit Siang, Karpal and secretary-general Lim Guan Eng are expected to attend.

DAP Youth head Anthony Loke, who confirmed this, said he hoped the discussion could mend the rift between both leaders after their dispute disrupted the Penang DAP convention on Sunday.

It is learnt that the leaders would also discuss if its disciplinary committee needs to investigate Dr Ramasamy after a complaint was lodged by Kuala Juru DAP branch chairman Tan Ah Huat.

The spat broke out after Dr Ramasamy was quoted in a Tamil vernacular newspaper as saying that there were “godfathers” in DAP after named three individuals as candidates in the next general election.

When contacted, Dr Ramasamy, who is also the Penang Deputy Chief Minister II, said that he might not be able to attend the meeting as he was busy with other duties.
