Kena beza politik, perasaan dengan khidmat pada rakyat, pesan pemimpin Umno
Ahli MKT Umno berkata, tindakan Loke Siew Fook letak jawatan menteri tunjuk kepentingan politik diutamakan atasi tanggungjawab bersama dalam kerajaan perpaduan.
Umno leader Othman Desa has warned Loke Siew Fook and other ministers to differentiate between politics, emotions, and responsibility towards the people following DAP's response to the conditional pardon of former Prime Minister Najib Razak. Describing Loke's resignation from the Cabinet as a result of Najib's pardon as irresponsible, Desa highlighted that political sentiment should not take precedence over collective responsibility in a united government.
"We need to separate politics, emotions, and duties towards the people," Desa told FMT. Desa, a veteran Umno member and MKT leader, further stated that Loke's resignation from the Cabinet should not be a political issue, as the decision lies with the King. Previously, during the DAP Executives' Meeting (CEC) session earlier in the day, Loke announced he would be the only DAP leader to resign from the Cabinet, despite certain factions wanting the party to withdraw entirely from the Cabinet.
Desa emphasized that DAP's decision for him to resign was a responsible move. Meanwhile, Umno Youth Chief Dr Akmal Saleh questioned why Loke resigned while Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming, who previously vowed to do so if Najib was released from jail, retained his position. "Everyone's saying different things, at different times.
(Nga) who's so stubborn, but Loke is the one who let go. He's still in the ministerial position," Akmal said in a sarcastic post on Facebook.
