	Democratic Action Party (Malaysia) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Democratic Action Party (DAP, Parti Tindakan Demokratik in Malay) is Malaysia's largest secular and Socialist opposition party.
		Most of the Malaysian PAP members decided to remain with the original party, but those that decided to continue the party in Malaysia formed the DAP in October 1965.
		However, a march made by the DAP along with Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (Gerakan) as part of the opposition led to violence, and resulted in what was euphemistically termed the May 13 Incident.

	idiotic utusan
		It was Mingguan Malaysia which carried the front-page report on Sunday that led to the police arrest of Parti Keadilan National Youth chief Ezam Mohamad on the ground that Ezam had said that he was launching street demonstrations every day to topple the government - which had been denied by Ezam.
		Utusan Malaysia is clearly trying to create a scare situation in the country giving the impression that chaos is about to replace peace and security in the country so as to justify high-handed and repressive police action against the Barisan Alternative leaders, members and supporters.
		Perhaps, Utusan Malaysia’s sense of self-importance is so great that for it not to be invited to attend an event, would amount to that event being a ‘secret meeting’ in the spy-catchers' sense of the word.

	Asia Times: Malaysia: Ready, aim, shoot in foot
		A highly publicized dispute between two key opposition parties over whether Malaysia should be turned into an Islamic state is threatening to undermine the alliance and has provided fodder for the leaders of the ruling Barisan Nasional (National Front) coalition to denigrate the opposition.
		But although the manifesto was accepted by all the main opposition parties, it still left the alliance vulnerable to the ruling coalition's scare tactics and to the differing interpretations of the DAP and PAS.
		Playing on lingering ethnic Chinese fears of an Islamic state, the mainstream media highlighted the ideological rift within the front in the run-up to the 1999 general election and implied that the cultural and religious rights of the minorities were under threat.

		The Alternative Front opposition parties were preaching and practising national unity encompassing the diversity of races and religions in Malaysia in the 1999 general elections, while it was the National Front ruling parties - which had ruled the country for four decades - which were sowing inter-racial and inter-religious distrust, suspicion and disunity, i.e.
		Ten years after this 30-year vision, the Opposition Front was spearheading this concept of a Bangsa Malaysia while the ruling National front was backtracking to a throwback of the politics of race and religion, desperately trying to keep Malaysians in their separate ethnic and religious compartments.
		In Malaysia, less than 60 per cent of the population are Muslims and it cannot be said that the majority of the Muslims support the concept of an Islamic state for Malaysia.

		DAP remains unswerving in its commitment that Malaysia shall remain as a democratic, secular and multi-religious nation.
		DAP’s co-operation with the other three opposition parties was based on the BA common manifesto, “Towards A Just Malaysia” in order to break the BN’s political hegemony and smash the chains of repression fettering the rights and freedom of Malaysians and undermining justice, freedom, democracy and good governance.
		Once the common objectives of the BA coalition had been tainted by one component party's insistence that the secular nature of this country should replaced with an Islamic one, it was no longer tenable for DAP to continue in the BA.
