The DAP Disciplinary Committee has accepted the explanation given by central executive committee member Ronnie Liu for an article criticising Bersatu chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Committee chairman Chong Chieng Jen in a statement on Tuesday said the committee had earlier issued a show-cause letter to Liu for his article entitled "Mahathir: The Paper Tiger" on Oct 22 and had received a lengthy explanation on the matter from the Sungai Pelek assemblyman.

He said all DAP members were advised to resort to internal channels to resolve their differences in the future and refrain from open criticism of DAP's coalition partners.
