DAP’s Ean Yong, Weng San not contesting in polls, to be given other roles

KUALA LUMPUR – DAP has dropped three-term assemblyman Ean Yong Hian Wah as a candidate for the Selangor state election next month and will be recommending him for a government-linked post. 

DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke, who is also transport minister, said he would recommend Ean Yong for the post of chairman of the Port Klang Authority. 

Also dropped from the candidates’ list was Lau Weng San, who will be nominated as speaker of the Selangor assembly if the Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional alliance wins the state in the polls on August 12. 

Loke said the party wants Lau to be made speaker in exchange for giving the Dusun Tua seat to BN. – The Vibes, July 24, 2023
