KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 — DAP will not leave PH coalition
despite recent electoral setbacks Anthony Loke has said
CNA interview, Loke rejected suggestions DAP go it alone
after disappointing performances in recent state elections
governing through coalition only realistic way to shape country’s future
OSTB: What future? Two terms for PM also sudah mati.
“I dont think DAP can go far if we just go solo” Loke said
- OSTB: But you got your backside kicked 8-0 in Sabah.
- In Johor you got your backside kicked.
- In SIX state elections you got your backside kicked.
- Your pintu belakang partner won ONE seat in Johor and ONE seat in Sabah.
- So are you planning to go farther than that?
scrutiny over DAP’s future within PH following losses in Sabah, Johor
to effect change in government, you have to be in a position of power
OSTB: What changes have you 'effected' ? Nga Kor Ming has delivered Building Plan approval in 24 hours. Development Order approval in one week? Fantastic. DAP = Developers Action Party. Developers are happy. But what about the 34 million other Malaysians? 34 million Malaysians must wait longer than the property developers?
He added that withdrawing from PH would only play into the hands of political opponents who wanted to push DAP out of government.
- OSTB:
- NO NO NO.
- Anthony Loke PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not pull out of the gomen.
- Please stay in the gomen.
- So that in GE16 you will get kicked out.
- Then good riddance.
- The voters will kick you so hard you will fly into orbit in outer space.
For Loke, slower reforms are preferable
forced DAP to accept compromises
what matters is delivery,” he said
Loke said realities of gomen meant progress slower than hoped.
proposals to limit prime minister’s tenure to 10 years encountered setbacks
Development Order / Planning Permission: targeted at 7 days
we know these might not necessarily translate into support on the ground
OSTB: Then whose support are you looking for? Who are you working for?
the beauty of democracy
the beauty of elections
you send a message to gomen
OSTB: But he who harvests the durians is heard more loudly. The trick is to juggle between the durians and the voters.
HOI ANTHONY LOKE - SO AUGUST 16TH STILL GOT MEETING AH? WHAT FOR? WASTING TIME ONLY.
You want power so you are NOT going to pull out of PH.
You want power so you wont pull out of gomen.
You want power so you wont give up your GLC positions.
So why waste time with that meeting on August 16th?
Just cancel the meeting lah. Save taxi fare, save travelling expenses, save hotel expenses, save flight tickets. What is there to discuss? There is nothing to discuss. You want power. So you will stay in gomen. End of story.
