[UPDATED] Why single out Loke when corruption is real problem, asks Anwar

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has questioned why Anthony Loke, the nation's Transport Minister, was singled out for potential resignation over his letter requesting the same. Anwar stated that the real issues at hand are corruption and plunder, not Loke's resignation. He told reporters at a conference that the problem lies with corruption and robbery, not whether Loke should leave his post.

Anwar defended Loke's work, saying he saw no fault in his performance as a minister. The Prime Minister also expressed doubt about how the country plans to handle corruption, while emphasizing the need to focus on the broader issue rather than Loke's resignation.
