DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook said DAP members unhappy with the party’s role in the government must be prepared for the party to return to the backbench.
PETALING JAYA: DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook says while he wants the party to remain in the federal government, he will accept whatever decision delegates make at the party’s congress on Aug 16.
“I want to defend this government. I want to defend the party’s role in the government. But I need the mandate of the members to continue this journey,” he said in an interview with BFM 89.9’s Sharaad Kuttan.
Loke said the matter would be decided through a secret ballot involving between 3,000 and 4,000 delegates, and he would respect the outcome even if they rejected the position preferred by the party leadership
