Fair-weather friend: Loke's cryptic post raises eyebrows

<report 54508b43-73b>n</report 54508b43-73b> Anthony Loke, the DAP secretary-general, posted a cryptic Malay proverb on Facebook, which has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions among netizens. The proverb, "habis madu, sepah dibuang," can be translated to "discarding something after it is no longer useful." While Loke did not elaborate on who he was referring to, social media users quickly pointed fingers at former Bangi MP Dr Ong Kian Ming, who recently quit DAP.

Ong had stated that he would continue serving the country and assist former health minister Khairy Jamaluddin's 16th General Election campaign, adding that he had no immediate plans to join another political party or contest in the next general election. New Straits Times has reached out to Loke for further comment on the matter.
