- DAP is unfazed by allegations of a plot to oust Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun, viewing it as a normal political occurrence.
- Secretary-General Anthony Loke stated that the party remains hopeful and will let the people judge the political developments.
- Loke commented on a document allegedly detailing discussions between Perikatan Nasional and UMNO to remove Aminuddin, urging voters to assess the situation ahead of the state elections.
DAP is not discouraged by claims of a conspiracy to remove Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, viewing such situations as a natural part of politics that requires mature handling. "We cannot be disappointed; in politics, one must have hope," said Secretary-General Anthony Loke Siew Fook.
Loke's remarks came in response to allegations circulating about a 13-page document purportedly sent by Bersatu President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to Pas leaders. The document allegedly outlines early discussions between Perikatan Nasional (PN) and UMNO aimed at ousting Aminuddin. The letter, dated May 25, reportedly claims several meetings occurred between Pas, Bersatu, and UMNO before 14 Barisan Nasional (BN) state assemblymen withdrew their support for Aminuddin's administration.

However, Loke chose to defer judgment to the electorate, particularly with the state elections approaching. "The State Legislative Assembly has been dissolved, so let the people make their assessment and decision. The people have eyes to see what is happening. I do not want to comment too much on this," he stated.
He was speaking after officiating the Cermat Madani initiative in Kuala Lumpur. Loke indicated that the party is prepared to face political maneuvering, emphasizing a need for a mature approach. The situation in Negeri Sembilan has been a focal point of political discussion, with various factions reportedly vying for influence and control.
