Following Loke’s resignation, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh has shared that she was actually supposed to be the one stepping down, not the DAP Secretary-General.

She explained that Loke had wanted them to fulfil their promises to the people and see through the work that was still unfinished.

“I was supposed to step down, but my Secretary-General wanted us to fulfil all our promises to the people and complete the work that was still unfinished. In the end, he was the one who paid the price,” she wrote in her Facebook post.

Anthony Loke challenges Barisan Nasional MPs

Loke also took aim at Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs who continue to criticise Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, challenging them to resign from their Cabinet positions if they disagree with the current administration.

He called on ministers and political leaders who are unhappy with the government to show collective responsibility by stepping down if they no longer support the administration.

Loke also questioned the integrity of coalition partners who openly attack government policies, question ministerial budget allocations and criticise the Prime Minister while still attending weekly Cabinet meetings.

Meanwhile, he assured the public that he would cooperate fully to ensure a smooth handover of duties, with ongoing ministry initiatives for the rakyat remaining unaffected.
