Loke maintains decision to quit Cabinet
HANGZHOU: DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke said he is sticking to his decision to quit the Cabinet.
In Hangzhou, DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke declared his resolve to stay in the Cabinet despite his earlier announcement of resigning. Loke, who serves as Transport Minister and represents Seremban in Parliament, informed reporters that he will submit his resignation letter to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim upon his return to Malaysia.
The decision to remain in the Cabinet was finalized, and Loke reiterated it upon arrival in Hangzhou. Currently, Loke is part of the federal ministerial delegation accompanying Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on a three-day working visit to Shanghai and Hangzhou, invited by the Chinese government. Earlier, Loke informed the DAP's Central Executive Committee that he would tender his resignation as Transport Minister after the conditional pardon granted to former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
However, he clarified that other DAP ministers and deputy ministers would continue to serve in the federal government. Anwar subsequently advised Loke to reconsider his decision to resign, urging the DAP to refrain from succumbing to political pressures aimed at destabilizing the unity government.
