There is no "fire" in DAP's backyard , even after four elected representatives quit DAP, claimed party stalwart Lim Kit Siang.

He was responding to the shocking event where DAP's sole MP in Malacca, Sim Tong Hin (Kota Melaka), quit the party on Sunday, together with Lim Jak Wong (Bachang assemblyperson), Chin Choong Seong (Kesidang) and Goh Leong San (Duyong).

"Partyies have their problems. I don't think there is any party that doesn't have problems.

"The problem, if any, should be that one (resignation issue), but not the fire that everybody is talking about," he told a press conference after visiting several constituencies in Malacca today.
