This weekend, more than 4,000 DAP delegates will vote by secret ballot on whether the party should remain in the federal government until the end of the parliamentary term.
After a series of electoral setbacks, has the DAP reached the point where staying in government is costing it more politically, than it is gaining from being in government?
Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris speaks talks to Ipoh Timor MP Howard Lee, the political education director in the DAP’s central executive committee, and Dr Lau Zhe Wei, an assistant professor at the Department of Political Science and Madani Studies of the International Islamic University Malaysia.
