Loke's resignation to take effect when Najib returns home
KUALA LUMPUR: Transport Minister Anthony Loke has submitted his resignation letter to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, with his resignation to take effect when former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak returns home.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke has tendered his resignation to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, with his departure slated for the day former Prime Minister Najib Razak returns home. Loke met with Anwar on Tuesday, to which the prime minister expressed his request for Loke to retain his position for the interim period. At a subsequent press conference, Loke clarified that his resignation would only be effective upon Najib's return.
The Transport Minister had previously announced his intention to resign following the Pardons Board's decision to lessen Najib's sentence, fine, and permit him to serve the remaining term under house arrest.
