LABUAN: The Labuan Democratic Action Party (DAP)\u00a0has been urged to focus on efforts to be the right platform and voice of the people.\u00a0
\nDAP central executive committee (CEC) member\u00a0Steven Sim said this is the right time as DAP is already part of the ruling government.
\nHe said that he had given three proposals as a benchmark for the Labuan DAP to\u00a0focus on, with the first one is to fully support the Unity Government\u00a0to ensure political and economic stability.
\nThe second one is\u00a0to increase efforts and services to the people and the third one is\u00a0to be the voice of the people, he said.
\n\u201cThe scenario is now different as DAP is now part of the government with DAP leaders having access to other DAP leaders who are in the government administration, and this is easy for them to voice the people\u2019s issues.
\n\u201cHowever, the fact is\u00a0despite the platform \u2013 be it the opposition or in the government \u2013 DAP always\u00a0strives to be\u00a0the voice of the people\u2019s welfare and well-being,\u201d he said after officiating the Labuan DAP\u00a0convention at Lazenda Hotel here today.
\nSim said Labuan DAP had undergone various challenges since its establishment to play part in Labuan\u2019s economic issues and people\u2019s well-being.
\n\u201cI\u2019m proud of the Labuan DAP\u2019s loyalty\u00a0with the party\u2019s struggles, having no splits since its establishment and the\u00a012 branches\u00a0remained strong,\u201d he said after officiating the convention at Lazenda Hotel here today.
\nSim who is also Deputy Finance Minister II announced the appointment of Jeremy Wong, a lawyer by profession,\u00a0as his special assistant to assist him on the various economic-related issues for the attention of the Ministry of Finance.\u00a0
\nWong who is also Labuan DAP\u00a0vice chairman was one of the Labuan Corporation advisory council members.
