  • Anthony Loke was a disappointment. He could still redeem himself by changing his stand and allow Charles to run as MP for Klang. At least it will show he still has some humility in him and he is willing to listento the Klang electorate. That is how one wins elections. It is not too late for that. It is still a week to nomination. There is no shame in reversing his decision. It will only show he is human.
