AT the relatively young age of 45, Anthony Loke Siew Fook has already had the honour of serving as a multiple-term lawmaker, being part of the winning coalition that handed Barisan Nasional its first defeat, and before being appointed to head the Transport Ministry. 

Now entrusted to lead one of the country's biggest political parties as its secretary-general, the Seremban MP has much to look forward to.

In this week's instalment, Loke shares with The Vibes his vision for the DAP, takes a look back at his time in cabinet as part of the Pakatan Harapan government, and shares what he would have done differently if he was still minister.

Does Pakatan Harapan have a chance of securing victory? Is the DAP ready to face the looming polls? Will any single coalition be able to form the government? 

Also, Loke opens up on life outside politics, what made him become a politician and his mastery of Bahasa Malaysia. – The Vibes, July 16, 2022
