  "account": "DAP Chief Loke Siew Fook posted a Facebook note featuring a Malay proverb, \"Habis madu, sepah dibuang,\" which carries a hidden meaning. The idiom typically describes a situation where someone is discarded once they are no longer useful. The post garnered attention, with many netizens wondering if it was aimed at former MP Ong Kian Ming. Ong, who joined DAP in 2012, announced his resignation as a DAP member and MP in 2021. In his Facebook note, Loke stated that he had no intention of joining another political party or contesting in the 2016 general election, but he would assist former Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin in his campaign if invited. Loke has served as the Member of Parliament for Serdang from 2013 to 2018, Bangi from 2018 to 2022, and as Deputy Minister for International Trade and Industry from 2018 to 2020. Ong failed to retain his position as DAP General Secretary at the 2022 party election and did not stand for re-election as DAP leader in 2025.",
