Enough talk about working with others, Loke tells PH leaders
Pakatan Harapan (PH) leaders have been reminded to refrain from weighing in on working with parties outside the opposition coalition, including Perikatan Nasional (PN), until the matter is brought up at the coalition’s presidential council.
DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook said restraint was needed to avoid confusing PH supporters, a majority of whom are against working with PN, especially Bersatu and PAS.
“We will not see the end of this polemic if we keep issuing such statements (about joining forces with PN),” he said.
“So my plea to PH leaders – if you wish to discuss strategy or propose who we should work with, discuss it at the presidential council and come to a consensus, instead of issuing statements that could be perceived as being conflicting and confusing our supporters,” he told reporters at a breaking of fast function here.
Loke said it was difficult for PH to work with Bersatu and PAS because of past relationships. PAS had also stated it would not work with PH.
PAS was once part of Pakatan Rakyat, comprising PKR and DAP, while Bersatu was part of PH until the Sheraton Move in 2020 which led to the collapse of the PH government.
Loke’s remarks were made in response to a statement by PH secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail that the coalition was open to negotiations with any political party to prepare for the 15th general election.
Saifuddin had said this after Amanah deputy president Salahuddin Ayub urged the PH leadership not to close the door on negotiations with any party, including Bersatu and PAS.
On a separate matter, Loke said his party should increase efforts to attract more Malay voters into supporting the party. “We need to keep interacting and organise programmes. Look at Hannah Yeoh (MP for Segambut), she has no problem with the Malay leaders, while Malay voters accept her.” FMT
