On September 23, DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke expressed his firm commitment to resign as Transport Minister upon his return from China. The Seremban MP made the declaration to reporters after arriving in Hangzhou, where he is currently accompanying Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on a three-day working visit to Shanghai and Hangzhou.
Loke's decision to resign was announced following a DAP Central Executive Committee (CEC) meeting on Saturday, in reaction to the conditional pardon granted to former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. Despite the resignation, Loke stated that the other DAP ministers and deputy ministers would continue to serve in the Unity Government.
