Anwar wants another sit-down with Loke before deciding on Transport Minister’s resignation

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is considering further talks with Anthony Loke ahead of a decision on the latter's resignation as Transport Minister. Loke tendered his immediate resignation earlier, but Anwar has not yet accepted it. The Prime Minister stated that Loke is a clean and trustworthy individual who has worked diligently to introduce initiatives at the Transport Ministry for public benefit.

Loke's resignation came following the Kuala Lumpur High Court's decision allowing former Prime Minister Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.
