Loke’s resignation as transport minister to take effect ‘once Najib enters house’
Loke Siew Fook tendered his resignation in September after former prime minister Najib Razak was granted a conditional pardon.
Transport minister Loke Siew Fook is set to resign once former prime minister Najib Razak, currently serving his sentence under house arrest, moves back into his home. At a press conference, Loke confirmed that Najib's RM50 million fine in the SRC International case has been settled. However, the home minister stated that Najib has not yet been allowed to return home, as he was sent to a dentist for a scheduled appointment.
This means that Loke's resignation will become effective the moment Najib is released from his house arrest, which is expected to happen by August 23, 2028, subject to his compliance with the other conditions.
