DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook greeting well-wishers at an event in Melaka tonight.MELAKA: DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook has urged voters in Melaka who are unhappy with former prime minister Najib Razak's house arrest to express their views through the ballot box on Saturday.

He said he believed many Malaysians disagreed with the house arrest decision, but stressed that the king's constitutional powers and the rule of law must be respected.

“I am sure many people cannot accept the fact that Najib can serve his sentence under house arrest. Of course, we respect the power of the king, the Federal Constitution and the rule of law. The pardon is provided for under the constitution.

“Whether or not we accept that decision, we can express our views through the ballot box,” he said at Pakatan Harapan's ceramah here in Ayer Keroh.
