Loke in China for official duty, to handle resignation matters later
DAP secretary-general is in Beijing for the 12th Apec transport ministers' meeting and will join the PM's delegation in Shanghai after that.
DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook announced his resignation as transport minister on Saturday, following Najib Razak's conditional pardon. Loke will be representing Malaysia at the 12th Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) transport ministers' meeting in China. The transport ministry says the event will involve various bilateral meetings and memoranda of understanding signings, covering land transport, rail, maritime, aviation, and logistics sectors.
Loke is set to attend the official event in Beijing before traveling to Shanghai to join Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's delegation. Upon returning to Malaysia, Loke will handle matters related to his resignation as transport minister. The transport ministry assured it would continue to manage all its responsibilities professionally.
The two-day APEC transport ministers' meeting commenced on the same day as Loke's resignation announcement.
