PETALING JAYA : DAP is set to develop a new national headquarters for the party after 15 years at its current base off Jalan Pudu in Kuala Lumpur.
In a statement, DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook said the party's assistant national treasurer, Ng Sze Han, would lead the project.
'The central executive committee has resolved to embark on the development of a new party headquarters to accommodate its growing membership and increasing administrative needs,' Loke said.
DAP moved its national headquarters from Petaling Jaya to Jalan Yew, off Jalan Pudu, in 2010.
Loke also announced that DAP would set up a political school soon, with deputy chairman Nga Kor Ming to spearhead this initiative.
He said the goal of the school was to 'institutionalise political education of the party and integrate political concepts across various levels of learning'.
'The party school will be tasked with training both party leaders and grassroots members, ensuring continuous political development,' he said.
He also said DAP deputy secretary-general Steven Sim would chair a committee to plan and execute a series of events to celebrate the party turning 60 next year.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia and Indonesia agree that a united and stable Asean is crucial to addressing current global challenges, whether economic, political, or security-related. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the matter was agreed upon during his meeting with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto in Jakarta today, in conjunction with his one-day official visit to the republic. "As two founding members of Asean, Malaysia and Indonesia reaffirmed their strong commitment to preserving regional unity and maintaining Asean's stability. "Hence, the close Malaysia-Indonesia ties will continue to serve as a model and catalyst for greater Asean unity, for the well-being of the people of both countries and the region as a whole," Anwar said in a Facebook post. He added that in the spirit of mutual trust, Malaysia and Indonesia are also determined to resolve outstanding border issues without delay. He said resolving the border issues, including longstanding maritime matters, is a shared priority to preserve the strong ties and close cooperation between Malaysia and Indonesia. "This win-win solution is expected to further enhance the confidence and trust between the two neighbouring nations.

The campaign will involve the government, private sector, and civil society, with promotions at shops and expanded efforts through online platforms such as TikTok, Shopee, and Lazada.

(Bernama pic) In Johor Bahru, agriculture and food security minister Mohamad Sabu said the government will strengthen the Eat Local Fruits campaign to reduce reliance on imported fruits and boost farmers' income. He urged all federal and state agencies to serve local fruits at official events to show support for farmers. Local fruits such as pineapples, durians, jackfruit, and avocados have shown strong domestic and export market potential, he said. The campaign comes after Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim ordered government departments to stop using imported food at official events. Mohamad also praised the Malaysian Pineapple Industry Board for raising pineapple output beyond RM1 billion and commended Sarawak's development of the Sarawak Gold 1 variety, which matures faster and is disease-resistant.
