00:04Next general election
00:05Will the DAP still stand shoulder to shoulder with Pakatan Harapan?
00:09Describing Party Secretary-General Loke Siew Fook
00:10In an interview with the Straits Times of Singapore, he mentioned
00:13He said he did not rule out the possibility of the DAP running alone.
00:17It means no longer competing as a member of the Pakatan Harapan coalition.
00:21He said there was a possibility of that.
00:23However, he also emphasized that he would try his best to maintain the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition.
00:28However, election strategies need to be reviewed from time to time.
00:31See what is most beneficial to the PAP and its partners.
00:35The final answer will only be revealed after Congress is dissolved.
00:39So why did Lu Zhaofu dare to use the term "single-parent family member"?
00:43He gave an example
00:45After the 2022 election
00:46The PAP made a historic decision.
00:49Cooperating with old rival UMNO
00:51Forming a unity government led by Anwar
00:54In other words, Malaysian politics is full of possibilities.
00:58He spoke very frankly.
01:00I will not close the door to anyone.
01:02We will maintain openness to cooperation with any potential partners.
01:06Lu Zhaofu frankly admitted
01:07Politics must be flexible
01:09But that doesn't mean there are no principles.
01:11No conditions
01:13Actually, when you look back
01:15The DAP in the past two years
01:16Life is not easy.
01:18Like last November's Sofa Weekly Selection
01:20completely annihilated
01:21Following this year's Johor election
01:23Smirland Weekly Selection
01:24consecutive defeats
01:25The pressure within the party is immense.
01:27As big as their congress to be held this August
01:30It is decided by the party representatives.
01:32Should they continue to remain in the central government?
01:34In the federal government
01:36However, mentioning this Smerlan election week
01:38Lu Zhaofu instead said
01:40Although they suffered a crushing defeat
01:42But he said it was a blessing in disguise.
01:45Why
01:45Because at that time
01:46UMNO and PAS chanted slogans of Malay unity.
01:49They said they wanted to form a strong state government.
01:51To resolve the royal deadlock
01:53As a result, Lu Zhaofu said they made the final decision.
01:56Malay compatriots across the country have seen it all.
01:58The party, on the contrary, avoided this heavy political burden.
02:02Therefore, he judged that the Ukrainian Union and PAS were...
02:04The political momentum for Malay unity
02:07It may not be able to continue indefinitely.
02:09However, what worries the DAP most right now is the potential shift in its core electorate.
02:16change
02:16Lu Zhaofu frankly admitted
02:18After the election in Rongfo Week
02:19Simon's approval rating among Chinese Americans has dropped to 80%.
02:23To return to 95% of what it was in the 2022 election.
02:27That's very difficult.
02:28He said this reflects a changing attitude among his core support group.
02:32Therefore, the DAP absolutely dares not take the Chinese vote for granted.
02:38Lu Zhaofu also explained
02:40Malaysia is a multi-party political system
02:41Even if the support from the Chinese community is very stable
02:44The People's Action Party cannot form a central government on its own.
02:48The only way to find consensus is within a coalition government.
02:51Promote reforms within the system as much as possible.
02:54He also admitted that this situation can sometimes be really frustrating.
02:58But this is the reality of Malaysian politics.
03:01We can only strive to win them over one by one with objective and persuasive arguments.
03:07Okay, finally, let's talk about something that the whole country is watching.
03:11Lu Zhaofu resigns
03:12Because Najib was allowed to serve his sentence at home
03:15Anthony Loke announced his resignation as Minister of Transport last month.
03:18This time he emphasized again
03:20He'll definitely leave as soon as Najib gets home.
03:24Absolutely no ambiguity
03:25It won't drag on
03:26Some have questioned whether this is just a political show.
03:29Lu Zhaofu said he had submitted his resignation letter on September 29th.
03:35Prime Minister Anwar
03:36Anwar asked him to stay in office first.
03:38Then the two sides agreed on the timetable.
03:42The moment Najib returned home was the moment his resignation took immediate effect.
03:46He added a very strong sentence.
03:48He said power is certainly important.
03:50But that doesn't mean we'd sacrifice everything to keep our jobs.
03:53It seems the executive party is using this step to prove to voters that it still upholds its principles.
03:58Adhere to the principle
