JOHOR BARU: DAP veteran, Lim Kit Siang was deeply upset that the party’s 50-year old Rocket logo will not be ignited at the 14th General Election.

Yesterday DAP general secretary Lim Guan Eng said it was unanimously agreed by the Pakatan Harapan component party that a common logo will be used instead of each individual party logos of Pakatan Harapan.
The opposition pact is made up of the DAP, PKR, Parti Amanah Negara (PAN), and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM)
Guan Eng however did said the change of the logo might affect DAP chances during election especially when up against the opponent candidates during election day.
The Rocket logo however were limited to be used in Sabah and Sarawak only.
