The electoral make-up of Malaysia simply will not allow DAP or non-Malays to call the shots, in the event Pakatan Harapan wins the next general election, said DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang.

Regardless of whether Umno or Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak remains in power, the reality is there are just too few seats which has non-Malay representation, said Lim.

"How is it possible that Malays, who dominate in 70 percent of the parliamentary seats in Peninsular Malaysia, will lose political power to the Chinese, who are in the majority in only 13 percent of the parliamentary seats?" said Lim in a statement today.
