My resignation takes effect when Najib returns home – Anthony Loke

Anthony Loke, the DAP Secretary-General, has tendered his resignation letter to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during a recent meeting. Loeke's resignation will enter into effect upon the return of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak from his house arrest. Speaking at a press conference, Loke disclosed that Anwar had suggested he continue his duties temporarily, but Loke insisted on specifying a timeframe for his resignation.

He stated that the day Najib begins his house arrest would mark the end of his tenure as Secretary-General. Loke affirmed that this resignation was taken in his role as DAP Secretary-General to express the party's disagreement with Najib's house arrest. He noted that the timeframe of Najib's release remains uncertain, and even he is unaware of the exact date.

The DAP Central Executive Committee (CEC) subsequently acknowledged Loke's resignation during an emergency meeting, highlighting that there is no designated successor for the Transport Minister position yet. DAP Cabinet members, Deputy Ministers, and other government officials were directed to continue with their roles to maintain political stability.
