DAP Rahang assemblyman Mary Josephine quits party


(Star) – The DAP’s Rahang assemblyman Mary Josephine Prittam Singh has announced her decision to quit the party, but says she will remain pro-Pakatan Harapan.

Mary, 71, a life party member since 1974 and in her second term as Rahang assemblyman, said her decision to quit was not made abruptly.

She decided to leave as she “was faced with challenges she could not take anymore”.

“In holding up to the integrity, pride and party image, and also going by and working on the guidelines of principles and discipline instilled in me in the last 46 years as a DAP member, I am faced with challenges to which I cannot take anymore.

“Working and supporting DAP members and leaders in Negri Sembilan has become a very big disappointment, and with a very heavy heart, I am left with no choice but to tender my resignation as a DAP life member and from all party posts,” she told reporters at her service centre on Friday (July 10).

Jospehine said she was also resigning as DAP Wanita national organising secretary, national deputy chief of Pakatan Harapan and state Wanita DAP chief.

“I want to let you know that my decision to quit is not something that happened today or yesterday but something that has been going on since 2018.

“I have been ridiculed and gossiped about but that doesn’t matter to me,” she said.
