SHAH ALAM - For Young Syefura Othman, she knew joining the DAP, rather than other multicultural parties such as PKR, would be the right step for her.
Unlike PKR, Young Syefura said she felt that the DAP was providing better opportunities for the youth, especially women to participate in their political forum.
"Why DAP and not PKR? I believed at the time DAP provides space for opportunities for the youth and women and witnessed the work ethic of DAP representatives at the time and that interested me and I believed DAP's stand suits my idea of how to serve the community,'' she said to Sinar Daily.
