DAP belum bincang pengganti Loke, kata Syahredzan

DAP deputy deputy speaker Syahredzan Johan stated that the party has not discussed replacing Loke Siew Fook as the transportation minister. He said it is inappropriate to discuss the matter in view of Loke's pending appointment, as the post has not yet taken effect. Since Najib has not set foot in his house, it is not appropriate to discuss who would replace him.

When the time comes, the decision of the ministerial committee will be made by the prime minister after consulting with DAP's chief advisor, according to Harian Metro. Yesterday, Loke reportedly confirmed his resignation letter, which will be effective as soon as Najib arrives at his residence for hospital treatment. He has already delivered the original resignation letter and discussed the matter with Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi following the ministerial committee meeting.

Yesterday, Umno publicly cleared the fine imposed on its former president after successfully collecting enough funds through the donation campaign launched in September. The High Court in Kuala Lumpur then issued a discharge order after the payment was recorded, but the National Prosecution Department (AGC) announced that the house arrest would be delayed pending further investigation into the legal issues related to the discharge order and the court's ruling.
