Malacca DAP today suffered a second wave of resignations, after the departure of veteran member and its sole MP, Sim Tong Him and three state assemblypersons last month.

Some 182 grassroots members, led by seven former DAP state committee members, quit citing "disappointment" with the party.

Among others they said the party deviated from its "Malaysians Malaysia" principle, former Malacca DAP state secretary Liou Chen Kuang said.

Besides Liou, the six other former state committee members leading the resignations are N Ghandi, Low Chew Lim, Henry Kang, Kenny Tam, Kng Tuan Hock and Tee Ai Yen.
