"Because by immediately severing ties, will we see the implementation of all these things? At least give us some time, give us six months to try, give us another chance to push for some changes. If we truly can't achieve it, then we can discuss whether we should remain in the Unity Government."

Reasonable points brought out by Anthony Loke.

Indeed, exiting the alliance leading to government collapsing, will undo alot of the progress that has been made as Malaysia. As this would invite unnecessary instability that will cause further flee by foreign funds.

He then follows up with give them time of 6 months. I would opine that it is a reasonable amount of time to be given WITHOUT inflicting irreversible damage to the governments progress.

That said, is UEC really the main point? Or, is he visualizing or leading with the image that UEC is really the main culprit for their demise?

As compared to UEC, the corruption issue as seen in Albert Tei's case, Sabah's alleged electoral corruption, and so forth (grouped as corruption cases) will be much harder to solve as compared to UEC.

a leader is always wary of internal politics, UEC was a dogmatic principle brought up by NKM many aeons ago, it's come back to haunt again.

maybe only 5-10% of their voters care about UEC, did they really did the survey?
For their voters, UEC or PAS?

everyone know DAP junior partner , who is only there for parking.

(Kuala Lumpur, 9th) DAP Secretary-General Loke Siew Fook said that if his resignation, or if DAP were to immediately sever ties with the Unity Government and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, could lead to the recognition of UEC (Unified Examination Certificate) and the implementation of various reform agendas tomorrow, he would resign immediately.

"I can resign from my post anytime, no problem, but can resigning truly solve all problems? If Loke Siew Fook stepping down today means UEC will be recognised tomorrow, I would resign immediately. But that's not the reality."

He said that grassroots members, after the Sabah state election, also want party leaders to review and for DAP to immediately cut ties with Anwar. "However, as Secretary-General, I will not accept these suggestions."

"Because by immediately severing ties, will we see the implementation of all these things? At least give us some time, give us six months to try, give us another chance to push for some changes. If we truly can't achieve it, then we can discuss whether we should remain in the Unity Government."

In the podcast program "Crucial Loke Points," he pledged that DAP would not cause the Unity Government to collapse until the next general election.

"DAP has 40 seats; withdrawing would not cause the government to collapse. What needs to be considered is that once we withdraw, the government will reshuffle, and who will be the Prime Minister?"

"I'm not saying that all problems can be solved in six months, but we need to see some changes. If not, then we have to make some decisive decisions, but not to cause the government to collapse."

He added that if voters are still not satisfied after six months, a meeting would be held again in July next year to review the government's performance.

In the program, he also publicly named PKR Secretary-General Fuziah Salleh, stating that her unauthorised announcement of Pakatan Harapan joining the state government after the Sabah state election results were revealed was incorrect.

"DAP was completely unaware of this matter, and did not even know there was such a press conference. No, I can openly say that this was a completely wrong approach and such an announcement should not have been made; it was an announcement that invited ridicule."

Loke Siew Fook pointed out that PKR only won one seat in the Sabah state election. "What is there to talk about forming a state government? The formation of a state government should be by the largest party, which is the one that won the most seats, as announced by Sabah Alliance Chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor."

"Sabah Alliance is the largest party; they can gain the support of other parties or assemblymen, and they should form the government and make public announcements."
