Why Ronnie Liu was dropped from DAP list
(NST) – Ronnie Liu was dropped from Selangor DAP candidate list because he had become a liability to the party, his former aide, Jafrei Nordin said.
He said complaints from the people in Pandamaran and his expose about Liu’s activities caught DAP’s attention, causing them to drop him to avoid further damage to the party’s image.
Liu was the assemblyman for Pandamaran and the state exco in charge of local government.
“There were growing complaints from the people about vice activities but he did not take any action, although the local government issues were under his purview,” he said in a ceramah here on Sunday.
Jafrei added that Liu had even instructed the local councils not to take any action on the entertainment centers operating illegally.
“This shows Liu’s greediness to make money out of these businesses,” he said, adding that the money was also chan neled to DAP for the party activities.
He said Ronnie Liu is not the only problematic member in Pakatan Rakyat. He also mentioned Elizabeth Wong’s love triangle with Hilmi Hazimin Abdul Malek and Tian Chua as examples.
“There are a lot of moral issues surrounding the Pakatan Rakyat leadership. People have started to realise this and I am sure this would be reflected when they are casting their votes this time around,” he said.
