KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 10 (Bernama) -- It was a double blow for influental Selangor Government executive councillor Ronnie Liu when he was not among the five newly-appointed state DAP committee members.
Liu, who failed to secure a spot in the 15-member state committee during the party polls on Nov 28, was not listed when Selangor DAP Secretary Ean Yong Hian Wah announced the list which was finalised after Thursday night's committee meeting.
Instead, the new leadership under another state government exco, Teresa Kok, appointed Azman Masri, lawyer and former Internal Security Act detainee V. Ganabatirau, Lee Kee Hiong, Shah Alam city councillor Ang Leng Kiat and Lwi Kian Keong.
"The new line-up of the state committee now consists of 20 members," Yong said in a statement issued here Friday.
Lee, a Kajang town councillor and former political secretary to DAP veteran leader Lim Kit Siang, had failed to win in the Nov 28 election but was expected to be included in the committee as one of the five appointed members.
Following Thursday night's decision to keep Liu out of the powerful state committee, his political future now hangs in the balance although he is still a member of the national central executive committee.
Last Friday, he found himself in the soup over an interview in a news portal, implying that the party was involved in money politics.
The same day, Liu was issued a show-cause letter by the party's disciplinary committee.
