00:00With the high-stakes DAP Central Executive Committee election taking place today,

00:07Benang delegates have made one thing clear.

00:09They want stronger representation at the top to ensure the state's interests remain a priority

00:15in national politics.

00:18Some of the delegates surveyed by FMT said that Benang must continue to play a pivotal

00:24role in the party given its legacy in DAP's rise to power.

00:29They said Benang's dominance in national leadership appears to have waned in recent

00:34years, with Selangor and Perak leaders growing in influence.

00:39However, State DAP Youth Deputy Chief Vijay Pillay insisted that Benang will maintain

00:45its influence, with figures like Chow Kwon Yew and Stephen Sim contesting for spots in

00:51the CEC.

00:54Benang DAP Youth Committee member Farid Maulud believes that more Benang representation in

01:00the CEC will help secure real benefits for the state.

01:05He said it would also help DAP expand its influence, particularly in Malay-majority

01:10areas.

01:12Meanwhile, Happy Valley DAP Branch Chief R. Ganesan said the party's leaders appear to

01:19have lost some of their fire since joining the unity government.

01:24He said DAP leaders, who used to fight for the people's rights, have gone soft and

01:29are now too afraid to speak up.
