“Over the past six decades, DAP has remained committed to serving Malaysians from all walks of life. Our struggle has never been limited to any particular group, but is about every ordinary Malaysian who works hard, cares for their family, contributes to society and hopes for a better future,” he said.
Soo said DAP believes that the true purpose of politics is to improve people’s lives, adding that the party has continued to stand with communities through both challenging and difficult times.
He said proceeds from the fundraising dinner will be channelled towards strengthening DAP Sarawak’s grassroots organisation, expanding community service programmes, improving policy outreach, nurturing future leaders and supporting initiatives that address the needs of Sarawakians.
