Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng, on 19th February 2013 in Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n
I have communicated with PKR head Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and both of us agree that PKR Johor Chair Datuk Seri Chua Jui Meng and DAP Johor State Committee Chairman Sdr. Dr. Boo Cheng Hau shall refrain from making further public comments on the relationship between the Johor state leaderships of DAP and PKR, especially on the contentious issue of seat negotiations.<\/p>\n
Both state leaders shall also consult first with the respective top party leadership before making any public statements on seat allocations between both parties for the coming general elections.<\/p>\n
The very visible public discord between both the Johor state leaderships of Parti Keadilan Rakyat and DAP have been exploited by all mainstream media, especially those controlled by BN. Such negative publicity is not desirable in the lead up to the general election and will only delight BN and disappoint PR supporters hoping for a real breakthrough in this BN fortress state.<\/p>\n
The DAP central leadership appreciates the contribution of Sdr. Dr. Boo and acknowledges his frustrations on being dictated to, in the relationship between DAP and PKR in Johor. However such matters, no matter how unjust and frustrating, should not be expressed in the public domain unless all avenues for discussion internally between PKR and DAP have been exhausted.<\/p>\n
As such discussions are still continuing, leaders, members and supporters of DAP, PKR and Pakatan Rakyat are advised to express their views through internal channels in order not to provide ammunition for our political opponents.<\/p>\n
The party central leadership shall actively convey the sentiments and justification of DAP Johor in the final seat negotiations which will be ultimately decided by top leaders between PKR and DAP. The national seat negotiations among Pakatan Rakyat component parties are still ongoing and DAP is represented by a team led by National Deputy Chairman and Election Committee Chairman Sdr. Tan Kok Wai. Any disputed seats shall be addressed by top 3 leaders of PR.<\/p>\n

\nPengerusi Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Johor, Datuk Seri Chua Jui Meng dan Pengerusi DAP Johor, Dr Boo Cheng Hau dinasihatkan tidak mengeluarkan sebarang kenyataan yang boleh menjejaskan hubungan dan kerjasama kedua-dua parti di negeri berkenaan.<\/p>\n
Setiausaha Agung DAP, Lim Guan Eng berkata, beliau sudah berbincang dengan Ketua Umum PKR, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan bersetuju supaya Chua dan Dr Boo tidak membuat kenyataan terutama mengenai pembahagian kerusi antara DAP dan PKR di negeri itu.<\/p>\n
Katanya, kedua-dua pemimpin PKR dan DAP negeri hendaklah berunding terlebih dahulu dengan pucuk pimpinan parti masing-masing sebelum membuat sebarang kenyataan mengenai pembahagian kerusi untuk Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 (PRU-13) nanti.<\/p>\n
Menurutnya, perbalahan antara pemimpin PKR dan DAP Johor itu menyebabkan media arus perdana yang dikawal BN melaporkan publisiti negatif yang menguntungkan BN dan mengecewakan penyokong Pakatan Rakyat (PR).<\/p>\n
\u201cPucuk pimpinan DAP pusat menghargai sumbangan Dr Boo dan mengakui kekecewaan beliau apabila ditentukan dalam hubungan antara DAP dan PKR di Johor. Bagaimanapun, apa-apa perkara yang tidak tidak adil dan mengecewakan mana-mana p[ihak tidak perlu dinyatakan kepada umum melainkan jika semua saluran perbincangan dalaman antara PKR dan DAP sudah selesai.<\/p>\n
\u201cSelagi perbincangan masih diteruskan, pemimpin, ahli dan penyokong DAP, PKR dan Pakatan Rakyat dinasihatkan mengemukakan pandangan melalui saluran dalaman agar tidak dijadikan senjata oleh musuh parti,\u2019 katanya.<\/p>\n
Guan Eng yang juga Ahli Parlimen Bagan berkata, kepimpinan parti peringkat pusat hendaklah menyampaikan sentimen dan justifikasi DAP Johor dalam rundingan akhir mengenai pembahagian kerusi yang akan diputuskan pemimpin tertinggi PKR dan DAP nanti.<\/p>\n
Menurutnya, rundingan pembahagian kerusi di kalangan parti komponen Pakatan Rakyat masih diteruskan dan DAP diwakili pasukan yang diketuai Timbalan Pengerusi Kebangsaan dan Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pilihanraya Tan Kok Wai dan pertikaian mengenai sebarang kerusi hendaklah ditujukan kepada tiga pemimpin tertinggi PR.<\/p>\n
