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.

Kena beza politik, perasaan dengan khidmat pada rakyat, pesan pemimpin Umno

Patriotic Umno leader Othman Desa has warned that Loke Siew Fook and all other ministers must distinguish between politics, emotion, and responsibility towards the people in light of DAP's conditional pardon for former Prime Minister Najib Razak. Describing Loke's move to step down as deputy minister following the pardon as making a statement on the current government, he emphasized that politics, emotion, and duty to the people should not be confused.

Describing Loke as playing politics and not being responsible to the people, Othman also noted that Loke's resignation from the cabinet ministers' assembly following the conditional pardon should not be made a political issue, as it is the prerogative of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. DAP's decision to only have Loke resign as deputy minister, while others demanded the party to leave the cabinet altogether, was deemed responsible by Desa.

Meanwhile, Umno Youth Chief Dr Akmal Saleh questioned why Loke stepped down and not Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming, who had previously vowed to do so if Najib was released from prison. He dismissed Akmal's message as trivial, while acknowledging that Nga remained in the ministerial position.
