In the world of politics, Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook has earned a special place in the hearts of many for his no-nonsense and dedicated approach to public service…
However, a recent Facebook post by Loke has not only encouraged Malaysians to vote in the upcoming State Elections but also left them amused and heartwarmed by his throwback photo.

The Minister shared a delightful blast from the past, a snapshot of himself at the ballots 19 years ago in 2004, when he was a youthful 27-year-old. With a touch of humor, Loke captioned the picture, "Once upon a time... in 2004! Let's go out together and vote this 12 August! Vote for Unity!"
The post quickly went viral, attracting over 6,200 reactions and 380 comments, with netizens marveling at the transformation of the now 46-year-old politician. Many couldn't help but gush over his younger looks, jokingly comparing him to a handsome actor in a Stephen Chow movie.
One witty commenter playfully suggested that Loke shared the throwback photo to imply, "I also used to be slim!" while another humorously remarked that his face may have remained the same, but his body had "upgraded" significantly.
Drawing a clever parallel with Loke's role as the Transport Minister, another commenter humorously pointed out that he had "upgraded" from a B2 motorcycle license to a B Full license.
Loke's throwback photo not only brought smiles to the faces of Malaysians but also highlighted the importance of civic engagement and voting in the upcoming elections. His relatable and humorous approach to connecting with the public has endeared him further to the people he serves.
Once upon a time.....in 2004! Jom, sama-sama pergi mengundi pada 12 Ogos ini! Undi untuk Perpaduan!
