Unfortunately @FabriRahman - the data suggests that your statement is pure rhetoric, and does not reflect DAP's actual operating method. Here's the data, focusing on the GE-14 to GE-15 transition: DAP won 42 seats in GE-14. What happened to these 42 seats in GE-15? • All 42 were recontested by DAP (no 'donation' to other parties) • 26 were contested by the winner. • 16 were contested by a person other than the winner. Let's zoom into those 16 seats where the DAP candidate changed: • 8 seats were won by a Chinese candidate in GE-14, and then contested by another Chinese candidate in GE-15. • 1 was won by an Indian candidate, contested by another Indian candidate (Charles Santiago --> Ganabitirau in Klang). • 4 seats were won by Chinese, recontested by non-Chinese. • 3 seats were won by non-Chinese, recontested by Chinese. So the 'net loss' of Chinese candidates is actually just 1 overall. And if you zoom into those 4 seats, they are: • Bukit Bendara (Hon Wai --> Syerleena, Hon Wai moved back to being ADUN) • Bangi (Kian Ming --> Syahredzan, Kian Ming voluntarily stepped back and supported Syah) • Damansara (Tony Pua --> Gobind, Tony voluntarily stepped back) • Bentong (Wong Tack --> Young Syefura) This does not at all paint the picture of a widespread conspiracy like you are claiming. And remember, we also have 3 seats where it went in reverse: • Puchong (Gobind --> YBY, Gobind went to Damansara replacing Tony Pua) • Batu Kawan (Kasthuri Patto --> Chow Kon Yeow, losing the only female Indian MP) • Raub (Tengku Zulpuri --> Chow Yu Hui) Do with this data what you will. To me, it's a clear repudiation of your sentiment, but ymmv.
