Bersama taps ex-DAP leader, union chief for Melaka campaign

Bersama has recruited former state Democratic Action Party chief Goh Leong San and labour organiser N Gopal Kishnam as it ramps up its campaign machinery for the Melaka state elections. Goh, who has largely remained out of the political spotlight since 2018, is scheduled to make a public reappearance at a ceramah on Saturday as part of the party's outreach efforts. His involvement marks a notable return to active political campaigning after a five-year hiatus. Kishnam, who joined Bersama last month, brings extensive experience in the labour movement to the party's fold. The recruitment of both figures underscores Bersama's strategy to leverage established political and community networks to strengthen its position in the state polls. The party has been positioning itself as an alternative political force in Malaysian politics since its formation. Both appointments are expected to enhance Bersama's ground presence and organisational capacity during the crucial election period.
