Transport Ministry Never Sidelined Johor Government, Says Minister Anthony Loke

Malaysia's Transport Minister, Anthony Loke Siew Fook, has strongly denied allegations that the Johor state government was excluded from official programs organized by the Ministry of Transport (MOT). The claims, reportedly made by Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, were labeled as untrue by Loke.

Loke clarified that the Johor government has consistently been included in relevant ministry events. He specifically pointed out that Onn Hafiz himself has participated in several significant programs organized by the MOT. This direct refutation aims to correct what Loke perceives as a misrepresentation of the ministry's engagement with the state government.

The Johor state government was never sidelined from any official programs involving the Ministry of Transport (MOT) as claimed by the Menteri Besar, Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.

Further elaborating on his statement, Anthony Loke shared details via a Facebook post, listing specific instances where the Johor government was involved. This move is intended to provide concrete evidence against the claims of exclusion and to emphasize the ministry's commitment to collaboration with state administrations. The minister's response seeks to set the record straight regarding the MOT's relationship with the Johor state government.

The statement is untrue, given that Onn Hafiz himself had attended several key events of the ministry.
