DAP adviser Lim Guan Eng said Umno's top two are contradicting each other on the issue of Loke Siew Fook stepping down as transport minister.MALIM: DAP adviser Lim Guan Eng tonight accused Umno of making a U-turn on Loke Siew Fook’s resignation as transport minister, following the commencement of former prime minister Najib Razak’s house arrest.
Lim said Umno was “full of contradictions”, pointing out that party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had praised Loke, the DAP secretary-general, describing him as a “man of principle” for keeping to his promise to step down.
“But today, there is a 180-degree turn by Umno which is now claiming (that Loke’s resignation) is disrespectful of the king's powers (to grant pardons),” he said at a ceramah here, referring to Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan.
