KUCHING, Jan 11 — Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports Mordi Bimol said his appointment at the federal level stands as proof that DAP provides space for Dayak leaders to rise and serve.

Countering long-held perceptions that the party is dominated by a single community, Mordi, who is also Sarawak DAP vice-chairman, said his political journey reflected the party’s openness to leaders committed to its principles regardless of background.
