Ismail Sabri should look in the mirror first


Former Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was reported by news portal FMT as saying that any reason to withdraw DAP Secretary-General Encik Anthony Loke Siew Fook's resignation as a minister would show that it is merely a farce.


The former UMNO vice-president reminded that this is not the first time the DAP leader has spoken about resigning.

“It wasn't UMNO that forced him. He wanted to withdraw from the government. He made the announcement twice. So as a man of dignity, he should just go ahead with his action,” Ismail was reported as saying when met by reporters while campaigning for the Barisan Nasional candidate in the Ayer Molek state seat (DUN).

The day before, Anwar, who is also Pakatan Harapan chairman, announced he wanted to renegotiate with Loke regarding his resignation as Minister of Transport.

On Tuesday, Loke announced his resignation effective immediately yesterday following the Kuala Lumpur High Court’s decision to allow Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence for the SRC International case under house arrest.

The DAP Secretary-General had previously announced his intention to resign after conditional pardon was granted to Najib, but agreed to continue his duties temporarily at Anwar’s request.

“If he (Loke) still says after this that ‘the Prime Minister wouldn't allow it’ and so on, it will be very obvious that it’s all a drama,” said Ismail.

On Wednesday, DAP Advisor Encik Lim Guan Eng described Loke’s decision to step down as a true reflection of the stance and principles fought for by DAP.

However, Ismail disputed that argument. “If it’s about his party’s principles, it shouldn't just be Loke who resigns; DAP ministers and deputy ministers in the government must also resign.”

Yet Ismail failed to mention the behavior of UMNO ministers who are so eager to condemn their own unity government shamelessly without resigning.
