  "account": "Yesterday, the Senior Vice-President of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), Loke Siew Fook, posted a Facebook note featuring a Malay proverb, \"Habis madu, sepah dibuang,\" which carries an implied message about someone being left behind when no longer useful. The post garnered attention and prompted netizens to question whether the statement was directed at former DAP MP Ong Kian Ming. Ong, who joined DAP in 2012, announced his resignation from the party in a separate statement on the same day.\n\nLoke clarified that he had no intention of joining another political party or contesting in the 2016 General Election (GE16), but would support former Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin if he were nominated during the 2016 poll. Loke has served as the MP for Serdang from 2013 to 2018, Bangi from 2018 to 2022, and as the Deputy Minister for International Trade and Industry from 2018 to 2020. Following Ong's failure to retain his position as DAP's Executive Committee member in the 2022 party election, Loke has not contested for a leadership role within DAP in the 2025 party election.",
