‘Decision has been made’: Anthony Loke firm on resignation, to hand in letter upon return from China

HANGZHOU, September 23 — DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke has firmly resolved to resign as Transport Minister, the Seremban MP announced to reporters after arriving in Hangzhou from China. Loke stated that he will submit his resignation letter to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim upon his return home. The resignation was made following a DAP Central Executive Committee meeting in response to the conditional pardon granted to former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Loke reiterated that other DAP ministers and deputy ministers would continue to serve in the Unity Government. Anwar, speaking to Malaysian media while traveling from Shanghai to Hangzhou, expressed that he would not hastily decide on Loke's resignation but would first hear his explanation. The Prime Minister also cautioned against the DAP bowing to political interests and withdrawing from the government.
