DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook did not rule out PH negotiating with other coalitions after the Negeri Sembilan election if it falls short of the seats needed to form the state government. PETALING JAYA : A defeat for Pakatan Harapan in Saturday’s Negeri Sembilan state election could have “big implications” for the survival of the federal government, says DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook. If you do not have electoral strength and political strength, then we are, of course, on the chopping board,” he said. He was responding to speculation that a strong BN performance in Negeri Sembilan could trigger moves for a vote of no confidence against the federal unity government. Loke also refused to rule out PH negotiating with other coalitions after the Negeri Sembilan election if it fails to secure enough seats to form the state government.
