First some introduction to the people in DAP

Chairman and Central Executive Committee

Lim Kit Siang was the chairman of the DAP from 1999 to 2004. Until then, he had been Secretary-General of the party since 1969. In 2004, he stepped down in favour of Karpal Singh as the new Chairman. His son, Lim Guan Eng became Secretary-General. Lim decided to take an advisory role as Chairman of the DAP Policy and Strategic Planning Commission. Lim remained as Parliamentary Opposition Leader.

As of 2006, the DAP Deputy Chairman is Tan Seng Giaw, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Kepong. The four vice-chairmen are M. Kulasegaran, MP for Ipoh Barat, Zulkifli Mohammad Noor, Chow Kon Yeow and Richard Wong. [12]
The DAP also has a Central Executive Committee (CEC). In 2004, 402 (of 591 total national delegates) delegates were present to vote for members of the CEC. The top three were Tan Kok Wai (MP for Cheras) with 337 votes, Fong Po Kuan (MP for Batu Gajah) with 334 votes and Chow Kon Yeow with 333 votes. [13]

The symbol of the DAP is the Rocket which it has used since the 1969 general election.
The blue circle stands for the unity of the multi-racial people of Malaysia.
The white background stands for purity and incorruptibility.
The red rocket symbolizes the Party's aspiration for a modern, dynamic and progressive society.
The four rocket boosters represent the support and drive given to the Party objectives by the three major races and others
