DAP's two-term Rahang assemblyman Mary Josephine Prittam Singh announced today that she is leaving the party with immediate effect.

Speaking in a special press conference held here, she said she was resigning as DAP life member as well as Negeri Sembilan DAP committee member.

"This morning I am calling for this press conference to announce the termination of my DAP life membership," she said, adding that she was holding on to the principles and discipline instilled in her during her 46 years as party member.

"I am faced with challenges which I can no longer take. Working and supporting DAP members and leaders in Negeri Sembilan has become a big disappointment. I am left with no choice but to tender my resignation as DAP life member and all party posts that I hold, effective today," she said.

Her resignation letter was sent yesterday to the DAP headquarters.
