Premature to discuss Loke’s replacement, says DAP leader
Syahredzan Johan says the DAP secretary-general’s resignation as transport minister has yet to take effect as Najib Razak has not started serving the balance of his jail sentence under house arrest.
DAP vice-chairman Syahredzan Johan has clarified that it is premature to discuss a replacement for transport minister Loke Siew Fook, following the latter's resignation from the Cabinet. Syahredzan emphasized that the composition of the Cabinet is solely at the discretion of the prime minister, stating that it would be inappropriate to discuss a successor at this time.
Loke's resignation is currently on hold as former Prime Minister Najib Razak serves the remainder of his house arrest sentence. The DAP secretary-general, Hariz Mahati, will ultimately decide on a replacement once the time comes.
