DAP appoints first Malay aide to sec-gen

Chinese-dominated DAP today made history of sorts by appointing a Malay as the political secretary to the party’s top leader.

Entrepreneur Zairul Khir Johari, son of Umno stalwart Mohd Khir Johari, appointment to the post was announced today by secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.

This is the first time DAP held a press conference has been held to announce the appointment for this position and it is believed to be part of an effort to help the party shed its “anti-Malay or anti-Islam” tag given by Umno and its mouthpiece Utusan Malaysia.

Zairil, 28, holds a masters degree in international studies and diplomacy from University of London and runs his own chocolate business.

“I am confident that with his wide experience, Zairul will bring a lot of positive contributions to the party,” said Lim during a press conference at the party headquarters today.
