The Democratic Action Party or DAP is a secular, multi-racial, social democratic/democratic socialist Malaysian political party. DAP was founded on 18th March 1966. Using its symbol of the ROCKET, the DAP had contested in 10 general elections from 1969 to 2008.Following the May 13, 1969 riots in Malaysia which ensued from the general elections, parliamentary rule was suspended and the government was taken over by the National Operations Council. It was only in April 1971 that the democratic government was restored. Gerakan joined the ruling coalition on February 13, 1972 and has continued to govern Penang till March 2008.
After such a long journey of total 49 years, finally DAP manage to secure back Penang from ruling coalition. Nothing is impossible. The ‘spell’ of opposition party cannot ever win any state has been broken. With DAP determination and strong belief in their vision has make a history. It has showed the people that as long as we belief in what we are doing, we will sure make it one day. Well done DAP!!!
