KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 — DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke shared a traditional Malay proverb on Facebook shortly after news broke that party member Ong Kian Ming had resigned from the party.
The proverb, which translates to 'once the honey is finished, the dregs are discarded,' appeared to reference the timing of Ong's departure. The cryptic posting has drawn attention on social media, with observers interpreting it as commentary on the circumstances surrounding the resignation.
Ong Kian Ming, a prominent DAP politician, had been a member of the party for several years. Details surrounding his decision to step down have not been fully disclosed by party leadership.
The incident highlights ongoing dynamics within the Democratic Action Party as it navigates internal changes. Loke's post, though brief, suggests underlying tensions that may have contributed to the resignation, though neither Loke nor party officials have provided formal statements elaborating on the matter.
