FORMER DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng heaped praise on his successor, Anthony Loke Siew Fook, for resigning as a cabinet minister, saying it shows the party leadership has principles.
Loke quit as Transport Minister yesterday to protest the decision to allow Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his reduced six-year prison sentence in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case under house arrest.
“I salute Loke for keeping his word and practising what he preaches by resigning as Transport Minister to show his disagreement with the house arrest privilege for Najib.
"Loke’s resignation proves DAP’s consistency in opposition or in government, being firm and strong,” he said.
DAP has always been different in fighting for right over wrong, said Lim.
"Loke has forcefully proven that this is the real DAP by being willing to sacrifice position for principle, and surrendering the perks and privileges of office for honour." - November 11, 2026.
