The Democratic Action Party (DAP) in Malaysia is evolving, with Cabinet members like Steven Sim and Hannah Yeoh favoring stability over the party’s traditional fiery reformist stance. Critics label this shift “MCA 2.0,” likening DAP to the fading Malaysian Chinese Association, which lost Chinese support amid Umno’s pro-Malay push. Yet, Ong Kian Ming, a Taylor’s University expert, argues DAP’s change stems from internal debates on inclusivity, reflecting Malaysia’s shrinking non-Malay demographic. Unlike MCA, crippled by money politics, DAP maintains discipline. Ong insists a strong code of conduct will keep DAP from mirroring MCA’s decline, preserving its edge as a multiracial force.
