DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook said BN attacks the prime minister night and day, yet remains a member of the federal government.MELAKA: DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook has challenged Barisan Nasional to withdraw from the unity government, saying it would not dare to do so for fear of losing positions and thereby political influence.

At a ceramah for the Melaka polls in Melaka Baru, Loke fired back at BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for saying Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim should dissolve Parliament early rather than reshuffle the Cabinet following Loke's resignation as transport minister.

“The mandate to govern is still in the prime minister’s hands. If you don't like it, you can leave the government. He still has the majority support.
