Ramanan: Loke's resignation a big loss
KUALA LUMPUR: Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan has described Anthony Loke as a principled man, saying his resignation as transport minister was a big loss.
Human Resources Minister R. Ramanan has expressed his disappointment over Anthony Loke's decision to resign as transport minister. Ramanan praised Loke as a man of principle, stating that his departure is a significant loss for the cabinet. The Malaysian Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, has the final say in any cabinet reshuffle. Ramanan, who considers Loke a friend and colleague, acknowledged the decision and the impact it has on the government.
Loke's resignation followed a high court ruling that allowed former Prime Minister Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence in house arrest in the SRC International case. The DAP had previously stated that discussions on a replacement for Loke were premature. Anwar had also indicated that it was too early to discuss a cabinet reshuffle.
