Senior DAP leader Karpal Singh was opposed to the formation of the Barisan Alternatif coalition in 1999 until the PAS spiritual leader personally stepped in.

Tok Guru Nik Aziz Nik Mat was responsible for changing Karpal Singh’s mind about the DAP joining the Barisan Alternatif.

According to the newly-released second volume of the biography, “Lim Kit Siang – Malaysian First” by writer Kee Thuan Chye, DAP was split down the middle over the prospect of cooperating with PAS. “Nonetheless, Karpal allowed the discussion to go on despite his opposition. And you know who melted his heart? Nik Aziz! On Karpal’s birthday, he bought a cake and knocked on the door of Karpal’s house. And after that Karpal changed his mind,” Liu said.

The new coalition was put to the test at the 1999 general election; the DAP managed to win only 10 seats, with the Chinese voters deciding to take a safer path by going for BN. Even Kit Siang and Karpal Singh both lost their state and parliamentary seats.
