DAP will use its Rocket symbol when its candidates file in their nomination papers tomorrow morning. However the candidates will also have authorisation letters from PAS or PKR in the event the returning officers reject the DAP symbol.
‘We are not confident that they will accept our symbol but we will try. If they do reject our Rocket, we will use either the moon (PAS) or the eye (PKR),” said an emotional DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng during a press conference in Penang this evening.
Lim said that all DAP candidates have been issued with two sets of authorisation letters – one from DAP which allows the candidates to use the Rocket symbol, and another from PAS to allow DAP candidates in Peninsular Malaysia to use the moon symbol, and from PKR for DAP members in Sabah and Sarawak to use the eye symbol.
He said that the DAP candidates will first submit DAP’s letter of authorisation and if it is rejected by the returning officer during nomination process, they will then submit the authorisation letter given by PAS or PKR.
“This is a very sad day. We are being denied the chance to use our beloved symbol,” said Lim.
He said the Barisan Nasional government was employing underhand tactics to defeat DAP by refusing the party to chance to use its Rocket symbol.
“We are very angry. The party is very angry. Our supporters are very angry, and our leaders are upset as it is very painful not to be able to use our Rocket for the general election,” he said.
“BN is playing dirty to use this tactic to knock out the DAP even before the battle has started,” he said.
ROS’ de-recognition
He said DAP has not received any official undertaking from the Registrar of Societies to withdraw its letter dated April 17 which stated that the ROS does not recognise DAP’s newly elected Central Executive Committee (CEC) due to the dispute surrounding the party elections in December last year.
The de-recognition comes partly due to the party’s alleged failure in providing ballot papers to 753 delegates who were supposed to be electing the party’s CEC.
In the letter, the ROS had warned that the explanations put forth by the party leadership with regard to the disputed matters must be satisfactory or DAP faced the risk of being de-registered.
Among others, the ROS wanted DAP to submit a list of legitimate CEC members and the steps taken to resolve the disputes within a month.
The Election Commission yesterday confirmed the ROS probe would not affect the party’s position while the candidates can still contest in the May 5 polls. The EC also said that DAP can use its Rocket symbol in the general election.
Nevertheless, DAP leaders are getting prepared for any eventualities.
Final attempt
Lim said that their fear is that the election officers tomorrow would not accept DAP candidates’ authorisation letter from the party on the grounds that it was signed by the secretary general whose position was not recognised by the ROS.
“We will make a final attempt tomorrow to use our symbol and we will see what happens. If the Rocket symbol is rejected, we will use the symbols of PAS or PKR,” he said.
“But we are hoping that we can use the Rocket tomorrow,” he added.
The press conference was also attended by party chairman Karpal Singh and other party leaders from Penang.

DAP to try using Rocket symbol tomorrow
About sabahdaily
Lim Guang Eng sepatutnya menyalhkan diri sendiri sekiranya mereka tidak boleh menggunakan lambang roket lantaran KEBODOHAN mereka semasa pemilihan wakil-wakil parti tersebut. Yang membantah keputusan pemilihan DAP adalah ahli-ahli DAP sendiri. Ianya tiada kena mengena dengan BN. Bodoh punya DAP. Sendiri tak tau urus parti sendiri tapi mau salahkan orang lain. Baru urusan parti DAP pn mereka tak boleh urus dengan baik, macam mana pula mau memerintah negara. Awas! mengundi DAP sama juga bodoh macam pemimpin-pemimpin DAP.

ReplyDeleteDAP guna simbol roket
ReplyDeleteDAP, yang disiasat oleh Pendaftar Pertubuhan (ROS) berhubung keputusan pemilihan Jawatankuasa Kerja Pusat (CEC) parti itu, tidak menghadapi masalah pada penamaan calon hari ini apabila calonnya pada pilihan raya umum ke-13 (PRU-13) dapat menggunakan simbol parti itu.
Parti itu bertanding di 51 kawasan Parlimen dan 103 kerusi negeri.
DAP membuat pelan kontingensi untuk bertanding di bawah lambang PAS di semenanjung dan lambang PKR di Sabah dan Sarawak selepas ROS berkata ia tidak mengiktiraf pemilihan CEC parti itu Disember lepas berikutan aduan penyelewengan oleh beberapa anggota parti.
ROS berkata bagaimanapun DAP tidak dibatalkan dan parti itu boleh menggunakan simbolnya untuk PRU-13.
DAP meletakkan penasihat parti itu Lim Kit Siang di kawasan Parlimen Gelang Patah. Lim akan ditentang Menteri Besar Johor Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman dalam perlawanan satu lawan satu itu.
Di Pulau Pinang pula, Setiausaha Agung DAP, Lim Guan Eng akan berdepan perlawanan tiga penjuru dalam mempertahankan kawasan Parlimen Bagan dan perlawanan satu lawan satu di kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri Air Puteh.
Semalam Guan Eng berkata calon-calon parti itu akan membawa dua watikah calon, satu daripada DAP dan satu lagi daripada PAS bagi calon di semenanjung dan PKR bagi Sabah dan Sarawak, ke pusat penamaan calon. - BERNAMA
Dengar kata memang DAP sekarang boleh guna logo roket sudah kan, so kira dah selesai lah hal ni.
ReplyDeleteNamun bagi saya soal logo tak penting, apa yang penting rakyat tahu siapa yang mereka nak undi.
ReplyDeleteSemoga PRU berjalan lancar dan pastikan tidak ada masalah yang timbul nanti.
ReplyDeleteProses penamaan calon sudah berlalu dan ia disahkan berlangsung tanpa masalah. Harap pihak berkuasa terus membuat pemantauan dari semasa ke semasa.
ReplyDeleteThe DAP, which is under investigation by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) for alleged party election irregularities, faced no problem when its candidates submitted the party’s symbol when filing their nominations yesterday for the 13th General Election.
ReplyDeleteThe party is contesting 51 parliamentary and 103 state seats.
ReplyDeleteThe DAP had made contingency plans to contest under the PAS banner in the Peninsula and use the PKR logo in Sabah and Sarawak after the ROS said it did not recognise the DAP central working committee elected last December, following complaints of irregularities lodged by some party members.
ReplyDeleteROS stated that despite its investigation, the DAP was not deregistered and the party could still use its symbol for the polls.
ReplyDeleteIn a straight fight for the Gelang Patah parliamentary seat, DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang and Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman were confirmed contestants.
ReplyDeleteIn PENANG, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng also had his candidacy accepted for a three-cornered fight to defend his Bagan parliamentary seat and a straight fight for the Air Puteh state seat.
ReplyDeleteGuan Eng said yesterday that the party’s candidates would carry two appointment letters, one from the DAP and the other from its opposition partners, to the nomination centres
ReplyDeletegunalah logo sendiri
ReplyDeleteLogo juga menjadi isu.
ReplyDeleteCuma mereka yang gilakan kuasa yang akan menyebabkan masalah.
ReplyDeletePencalonan sudah pun muktamad. Kami menantikan PRU13.
ReplyDeleteMasalah logo sudah selesai. Perjuangan sudah bermula.
ReplyDeleteROS harus bertindak bijak agar tidak merosakkan keyakinan dengannya.
ReplyDeleteDAP terdesak untuk menang.
ReplyDeleteKeputusan Pendaftar Pertubuhan (ROS) tidak mengiktiraf pemegang jawatan DAP dalam pemilihan Jawatankuasa Eksekutif Pusat (CEC), adalah berpunca daripada masalah pemilihan parti itu sendiri.
ReplyDeleteMasalah berkenaan dibawa ahli DAP yang tidak berpuas hati dengan proses pemilihan CEC. Ahli DAP sendiri yang menimbulkan masalah itu, bukannya UMNO, MCA, MIC atau mana-mana komponen BN.
ReplyDeleteKejadian Penasihat DAP, Lim Kit Siang menangis ketika mengumumkan penggunaan logo PAS dan PKR oleh calon DAP, disifatkan sebagai sandiwara demi menarik simpati pengundi menjelang PRU-13 semata-mata.
ReplyDeleteTindakan Kit Siang itu hanyalah cuba memanipulasi isu terbabit, selain mengalih pandangan ramai berhubung pergolakan berlaku dalam pakatan pembangkang.
ReplyDeleteHishammuddin tidak menolak yang pembangkang akan menggunakan isu berkenaan sebagai modal mengaitkannya dengan BN.
ReplyDeleteTindakan itu sudah dijangka kerana DAP mahu mengalihkan perhatian dan menunjukkan kepada masyarakat kononnya kerajaan, Kementerian Dalam Negeri dan ROS bertindak zalim terhadap mereka.
ReplyDeleteDAP hanya mahu menggunakan emosi untuk mendapat simpati pengundi, sedangkan dalam pemilihan CEC, ahli mereka sendiri yang membuat laporan berhubung penyalahgunaan dan penyelewengan yang berlaku.
