  "account": "Kementerian Pengangkutan Loke Siew Fook has challenged MCA President Wee Ka Siong's accusations regarding candidate selection for the Bandar Hilir constituency, specifically Leng Chau Yen, who has a language issue. At a party convention, Loke accused Wee of being cunning and trying to take advantage of Leng's language issue while asserting that her five-year service record does not hinder her ability to serve the people of Bandar Hilir. Loke emphasized that Wee only proposed one candidate, Leng, and questioned why he did not propose other candidates. Loke offered to debate Wee on transport issues at any time. During his speech at the convention, Loke also criticized Wee for allegedly proposing Leng and urged MCA to face him in all constituencies if they wish to challenge DAP. Loke further stated that he is not afraid of a challenge. Loke first served as Transport Minister from 2018 to 2020 before losing the position due to the fall of the federal government under Pakatan Harapan. Wee took over the position and served until 2022, when Loke was reinstated after the formation of the federal government.",
