Former Melaka DAP Chief to Support Campaign Despite Earlier Boycott Threat

Poo Long Suan, the former Melaka chief of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), has decided to actively support the Pakatan Harapan campaign for the Duyong state seat, marking a reversal of his earlier position. Poo said he received guidance from Damian Yeo, who encouraged him to assist in introducing the coalition's candidate to potential supporters in the constituency. The shift comes despite Poo's previous statements indicating he would abstain from campaign activities during the electoral period. Poo's decision underscores efforts by Pakatan Harapan to consolidate party unity ahead of the election. The move also highlights the role of senior party figures in mobilising grassroots support for coalition-backed candidates across Melaka's constituencies.
