DAP Exco man's aide, Jafrei Nordin, quits after learning DAP's true nature

GEORGE TOWN: CITING disappointment and loss of confidence with his boss, Jafrei Nordin, who is special officer to Selangor DAP executive council member Ronnie Liu, has resigned.

The 47-year-old businessman from Kuala Lumpur, who had been a DAP activist since 2004, said that he was resigning with immediate effect after working for Liu since July 2008.

Jafrei said his belief in Liu had "eroded after learning the DAP leader's true face and character" since 2009 and accused Liu of neglecting the responsibilities entrusted to him by the people.

He said Liu's silence in all the bribery and abuse of power accusations hurled against him had continued to raise questions about his sincerity in doing his job.

Jafrei claimed that the increase in the number of reflexology centres, night clubs and gambling outlets in Selangor was "proof" that the accusations were not unfounded.

"I have seen how Liu had gotten greedy chasing after profits to the point that he neglected his duties.


"He has neglected problems like floods and rubbish collection. I get calls from people, even until now, complaining about issues that have remained unresolved for the last five years," he said at a press conference at Persiaran Gurney here which was arranged by independent Nibong Tebal member of parliament Tan Tee Beng.

Jafrei also spilled the beans about the relationship the DAP in Selangor had with Parti Keadilan Rakyat and Pas, claiming that DAP had little respect for its partners and nursed intentions to dominate the Pakatan government in the state.

DAP had also tried to persuade Malay leaders like Datuk Zaid Ibrahim to contest in Selangor for the party and to win the state government with a DAP menteri besar at its helm, Jafrei claimed.

"As for Perak, there had been secret meetings, too, to discuss which Malay candidates to field for the DAP in the next polls to take the menteri besar position from Pas.

"There are hidden hands behind Pakatan mouthpieces like Malaysiakini to tarnish the image and credibility of any Pas or Umno man to split the unity among Malay leaders."

He added that DAP's election specialists were now targeting Pas because the party believed Umno was no longer relevant and Barisan Nasional would fall in the next elections.

Jafrei warned Pas that DAP would execute its own political agenda and take advantage of weaknesses of Malay-based parties, namely Pas, to spread their reach across Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak using its "unlimited resources".

When asked why he did not make his announcement in Selangor, Jafrei said he feared for his safety as well as the safety of his family and others close to him. He said he believed that he might face threats like others before him who had wanted out.
