A DAP senior leader has blasted Edmund Santhara for being a "failed" federal territories deputy minister and someone who makes wild allegations against netizens, especially those supposedly linked to DAP over the Rohingya issue.

Penang Deputy Chief Minister P Ramasamy said Santhara, who recently joined Perikatan Nasional (PN) government, has realised that "DAP bashing" might possibly give him political returns.
