‘Negeri Sembilan crisis is not DAP’s fault’, says Anthony Loke
DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke has denied that his party is responsible for the ongoing political crisis in Negeri Sembilan. He urged the state government to resolve administrative issues, such as the appointment of executive councillors, to ensure governance continues.
Why it matters
The political instability in the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan affects local administration and highlights ongoing tensions between political coalitions.
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 — DAP has stressed that it is not responsible for the ongoing political crisis in Negeri Sembilan.
DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook said it was unfair to continue blaming the party for the crisis when it was no longer part of the state government, according to a report by Sinar Harian today.
“What is happening today is certainly not caused by us. During the Negeri Sembilan state election campaign, they tried to link DAP to the crisis, claiming that we were responsible for what was happening in the state.
“Today, we are already outside the government. So they can no longer blame us or use DAP as an excuse,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the 24th DAP Negeri Sembilan annual convention here on Sunday.
