Fadhli persoal lawatan rasmi Loke ke China

Ketua Penerangan PAS, Fadhli Shaari, has questioned Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook's decision to continue with a royal tour to China, including attending a meeting of State ministers, despite announcing his intention to resign from his ministerial position. Shaari noted that while Loke is legally still a minister as his resignation has not been finalized, from a management standpoint, it raises concerns.

He emphasized that a minister who announces their intention to resign should also demonstrate a higher level of caution in exercising their authority.

Previously, the Transport Ministry stated that Loke and his colleagues, including Liu Wei from China, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing a framework for bilateral cooperation in road, rail, maritime, and air transport, as well as the logistics sector. Shaari expressed concern over the seeming discrepancy in Loke's continued adherence to his ministerial schedule, including holding bilateral meetings and signing the MoU, after announcing his resignation.

He questioned when the process of stepping down would actually begin, given that Loke is also the Deputy Secretary-General of DAP and recently announced his resignation as the temporary minister following the approval of Najib Razak's successor as prime minister.
