Talk:Democratic Action Party

DAP Membership
DAP is not a ethnic Chinese party as erroraneously described in this article but a multi-ethnic and multi-religious party open to all races, regardless White, Black, Brown, and Yellow. This is because DAP is based on Secularism, Socialism, and Malaysian Malaysia. Moreover, DAP is an political party accredited and certified by Socialist International. I find whoever wrote this article made the biggest lie in history to insult DAP, its members, and its supporters. Normally, any person who claims DAP is a Chinese-based or Chinese-led party is speaking a lie and they are usually from the racist Keadilan party or the Islamofascist PAS party. I have appropriately ammended this article and fixed the error.

What's sad is all the Chinese and Indians in Malaysia who support the National Front in spite of being treated like second class citizens by that Islamist bumiputra shit. Are they stupid enough to genuninely favour Islamist lunacy to the rationality of democratic socialism or are they scared of getting blown up by Islamist freaks if they don't back pro-bumiputra parties?

Well, roket, consists of Chinese ethnic. So they are chinese-major party, eventhough there got some indian in their party, and yes SOME, can be counted a finger. Malaysia is an ISLAMIC NATION, there's no question about, denial it, meaning you had denied the constitution, and denied ur rights to live in MALAYSIA, and ur citizenship. Tell me, where were roket during the CLC mission for Malaysia independant? those Chinese and Indians in Malaysia who support the National Front, is the one who bring Malaysia today, now see today, some group of INSECTs in Malaysia, try to fire racial sentiment and saying all the bad thing, and they are all the right thing lol.

Added a section header above. Please be reminded not to use wikipedia as a forum and refrain from personal attacks. Calling certain groups INSECTs -much as I dislike the group you are insulting- is not in the spirit of wikipedia. First IP user is also not assuming good faith by assuming an attack instead of proposing a change. I believe the article has now been rephrased to satisfy the first Ip user.

Additional information required: Tanjong projects
Information on DAP's Tanjong projects, which were key party strategies, are absent. They should be included in this article. AppleJuggler (talk) 04:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Ethnic diversity
You have edited the Ethnic diversity section twice now, first re-writing it and then re-adding what you wrote after I reverted your initial edit. Your version of the section states that "it (meaning DAP) fights for equality of races in a country that favours the majority Malay race, a notion few Malays would identify with or be a beneficiary of". There are two problems with your statement. The country's government in fact does not favour the majority Malay race, it favours the "native" population called bumiputras. You might feel like that is difference that doesn't matter, but it does because whilst all Malays are considered to be bumiputra, not all bumiputras are Malay. You also claim that most Malays don't identify with the idea of a Malay race and that they don't benefit from the aforementioned policies of the government without providing a single verifiable source. Separately, in your initial edit you made the claim that (I quote) "In recent times, there has been slight increase to its Malay and non-Chinese representation," without again providing a verifiable source. I also take problem with how you wrote your version of the section as well. The inclusion of "tends to attract the ethnic Chinese to join its ranks because it fights for equality of races in a country that favours the majority Malay race," makes it sound as if Wikipedia is attempting to push a narrative, right or wrong, to their readers which is something we don't want.
