- The Kota Melaka Member of Parliament also gave an assurance that Melaka DAP will redouble its efforts to play a check-and-balance role, both inside and outside the DUN.
- Regarding the Melaka State Election results that were not in favour of Pakatan Harapan (PH), particularly in seats contested by component party partners, Khoo did not deny that this partly stemmed from racial and religious sentiments played up by Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN).
