KOTA KINABALU: The rebel faction in the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is now attempting to make amendments to the Party Constitution, which includes shortening the tenure of Supreme Council members, from five years to three years.
The faction’s chief Datuk Teo Chee Kang (photo) said a committee of five members has been set up to study the amendments.
The committee will then submit a report to the Supreme Council for endorsement followed by passing the amendments in the party congress.
The committee consists of Chin Shu Ying, Tsang Hieng Yee, Lim Young Peing, Yong Wui Chung, and John Lee.
Teo who was recently elected as the Party’s president in the party congress organized by his faction said some provisions in the Party Constitution were no longer suitable, such as the five-year tenure of Supreme Council members were deemed too lengthy and should be reduced to three years.
In a statement issued here today, Teo also disclosed that the party would now be adopting a ‘New Team, New Beginning, New Outlook’ approach.
“LDP would also recruit new members, especially young first time voters as they were the future pillars of the country, and urged each division to actively do so,” he added....B.I
