For decades, DAP has been the victims of scorn because certain parties have continuously thrown baseless accusations against them.

These false accusations against DAP were engineered to create a false perception of party principles. The truth however is simple. DAP is a multi-racial party with a socio-democratic ideology that fights for peace, prosperity, and unity for all regardless of race, religion, gender, or socioeconomic status.

DAP has always championed the fight for democracy, justice, rule of law, equal opportunity, social justice, human rights, good governance and freedom.

We strongly oppose all acts of bribery, corruption, racism, abuse of power, tyranny and restriction of human rights.

These very principles are incorporated in the Federal Constitution that our forefather’s fought for in 1957 and 1963 and are held dear by every Malaysian Citizen.

DAP’s policies are in line with the Federal Constitution, which include:

•  Defend the Constitution, Islam is the religion of the Federation and other religions may be practiced in peace and harmony everywhere in the country.

•  To safeguard the special position of the Malays and natives of Sabah and Sarawak and the legitimate interests of other communities in accordance with Article 153;

•  Defending the sovereignty of the Constitutional Monarch;

•  Upholding the Malay language in line with Article 152 of the Constitution and to promote Bahasa Melayu as the regional lingua franca, protect and strengthen the use of the mother tongue of all races;

•  Repeal or amend all unjust acts and laws and violate human rights; and

•  Ensure the spirit of federation and fair relations between the Federation and the states, including restoring the rights of Sabah and Sarawak under the 1963 Malaysia agreement is upheld.
