DAP Member of Parliament (MP) for Bangi Dr Ong Kian Ming today announced that he will not be contesting the upcoming 15th General Election (GE15).

"This was not a decision made in a hurry but was discussed since last year.

"I see it as a step to open more doors for other younger leaders in DAP to step up," he tweeted today.

Ong is currently a Selangor DAP Committee member for the 2021-2024 term.

Ong had also served as the Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry under the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government in 2018.
