PETALING JAYA: The Transport Ministry should remain under DAP following Anthony Loke’s resignation as minister, analysts say, with an experienced figure such as Liew Chin Tong (pic) among the names being considered to take over with minimal disruption to the Cabinet.
International Islamic University Malaysia political analyst Assoc Prof Dr Syaza Shukri said appointing someone with previous experience in the ministry, such as Liew, would ensure continuity while demonstrating that DAP and Pakatan Harapan (PH) have sufficient talent to fill the vacancy.
She added that appointing a PKR representative to the portfolio could create further dissatisfaction among DAP supporters, given the party’s position within the coalition.
