Loke says resignation to take effect when Najib starts house arrest
DAP secretary-general says he met the prime minister yesterday and stated his firm stance about resigning as minister should Najib Razak be allowed out of prison.
DAP leader Loke Siew Fook announced his resignation as transport minister, contingent on former PM Najib Razak serving the remainder of his sentence under house arrest. Loke met Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to discuss the matter, who confirmed the resignation would take effect upon Najib's release. Until then, Loke was asked to continue his duties temporarily.
The DAP's central executive committee decided on Loke's resignation over Najib's conditional pardon in Najib's SRC International case. No replacement has been named, as the resignation remains contingent on Najib's release.
