Joint Media Statement by DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng, DAP Life Advisor Dr. Chen Man Hin and DAP Parliamentary Leader, Lim Kit Siang in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, 15th December 2011:
On Tuesday, 13th December 2011, the DAP Central Executive Committee entrusted a three-man committee to resolve the differences between the DAP National Chairman Karpal Singh and DAP Penang Deputy Chairman and Penang Deputy Chief Minister, Dr. P. Ramasamy.
On Wednesday, 14th December 2011, Makkal Oosai Chief Editor M. Rajan issued a correction on its 28th Nov. 2011 news report, admitting its mistake and making clear that its 28th November 2011 report about DAP candidatures for the next general elections had not originated from Ramasamy and expressing sadness that its news report had been the cause of the public controversy between Karpal and Ramasamy.
Hoping that the differences could be resolved as soon as possible, the Makkal Oosai chief editor paid tribute to the leadership qualities of Karpal and Ramasamy and wrote:
"Untuk kita, Karpal Singh dan Professor Ramasamy adalah pemimpin yang terpenting. Karpal Singh adalah pejuang dalam barisan pembangkang yang amat disanjungi di negara kita. Beliau telah melalui banyak penderitaan dan dugaan. Beliau berpegang teguh kepada prinsip parti dan berjuang sehingga masuk ke penjara.
"Seperti itu juga, pemberian jawatan Timbalan Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang kepada seorang India adalah sejarah dalam politik negara kita. Pada pilihanraya lepas, Professor Ramasamy telah memenangi DUN dan Parlimen di Penang dan menjadi Timbalan Ketua Menteri. Beliau juga memberikan khidmat yang baik kepada masyarakat India Pulau Pinang dengan jawatan sebagai Timbalan Ketua Menteri tersebut."
DAP leaders, including Karpal and Ramasamy, are conscious of the high expectations and great trust of the people in the DAP leadership to create a new political landscape in the imminent 13th general elections, particularly in bringing about a genuine two-coalition system in national politics by effecting a change of federal power in Putrajaya for the first time in 54 years of independent nationhood.
Taking into account the Tamil Oosai clarification and mindful of the great concerns of the people over the unity, cohesion and solidarity of the DAP leadership, Karpal, Ramasamy and the DAP Central Executive Committee have decided to move forward as one solid and committed political team to complete the final preparations for the challenges of the 13th GE expected in the next few month.
We will address and resolve internal differences using party channels to strengthen party unity, solidarity and cohesion so that we can single-mindedly ensure that DAP and Pakatan Rakyat can take on and defeat UMNO and Barisan Nasional in the 13th general elections.

民主行动党秘书长林冠英、终身顾问曾敏兴与国会领袖林吉祥2011年11月15日（星期四）于吉隆坡发表共同声明：
卡巴星与拉玛沙米的争议已解决，民主行动党领袖将团结一致面对第13届全国大选。
12月13日，星期二，民主行动党中委会授权三人小组解决全国主席卡巴星及槟州副首席部长兼党副秘书长拉玛沙米之间的争议。
12月14日，星期三，淡米尔文报章《人民之声》（Makkal Osai）总编辑拉占（M. Rajan）就该报今年11月28日的报导发出更正声明，承认该报导有误，且说明11月28日报导民主行动党下届大选候选人之新闻消息并非源自拉玛沙米，对于此报导造成卡巴星与拉玛沙米二人间争论一事深感抱歉。
《人民之声》总编辑希望此争议可以尽快落幕，同时也在文中赞扬卡巴星与拉玛沙米二人的领导素质，他说：
"对我们而言，卡巴星与拉玛沙米教授是最重要的领袖，卡巴星可是我国在野党领袖群中最为著名的一位，他经历无数苦难，坚守其政党原则，威武亦不能屈其心志。"
"同样的，一名印度领袖受委槟州副首席部长乃我国历史与政坛创举，上一届大选，拉玛沙米教授同时拿下其在槟州竞选的国、州议席，他不负副首长之职，善尽照顾槟州印裔社群之责任。"
民主行动党领袖，包括卡巴星与拉玛沙米在内，都清楚人民对民主行动党领袖的高度期望与信任，希望民主行动党在即将来临的第13届全国大选，打造一个全新的政治版图，尤其是达成我国独立54年首次联邦政权政党轮替，两线制的局面。
在《人民之声》澄清后，同时考虑到人民对民主行动党领袖团结一致互助之关心，卡巴星、拉玛沙米以及民主行动党中委会将会团结一致，迈出步伐，备战大选。
我们将会透过党内管道解决彼此不同之看法，以强党之团结、互助与凝聚力，则我们可以一心一意确保民主行动党与民联，在第13届全国大选击败巫统与国阵。
