Tony Pua’s remarks on Umno uncalled for, says Loke

 

DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook said any provocative statements against its coalition partners in the unity government are not in line with the party’s position.

PETALING JAYA: DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook says former Damansara MP Tony Pua’s remarks on Umno last night were uncalled for.

At a DAP fundraising dinner here last night, Pua said PH supporters must prove that “a multiracial party that is clean and not corrupt” could do better “than corrupt coalitions (sic) like Barisan Nasional, Umno and Bersatu”.

“Such attacks on key coalition partners in the unity government should not have been made and are uncalled for,” Loke said in a statement.

“Anyone in DAP who cannot mind their tongue is not welcome to speak at DAP events.”

Loke stressed that DAP’s top leadership decided to cooperate with other political coalitions in order to achieve political stability, adding that any provocative statements against coalition partners in the unity government are not in line with the party’s position.
