'I should've been the one to resign,' says Hannah Yeoh

DAP Deputy National Publicity Secretary Hannah Yeoh has expressed regret over her colleague Anthony Loke's decision to resign as Transport Minister with immediate effect. Yeoh stated that she should have been the one to resign, but Loke wanted to ensure the party fulfilled its promises to the people and completed unfinished work.

The decision to resign came following the Kuala Lumpur High Court's ruling allowing former Prime Minister Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest. Despite the controversy surrounding the conditional pardon granted to Najib, other DAP ministers and deputy ministers are expected to remain in the Unity Government.
