Politics : Anthony Loke's Resignation Not A Hasty Decision - Teo
KLUANG, Nov 15 (Bernama) -- Anthony Loke’s decision to resign as Minister of Transport was not made hastily. it was instead consistent with a stand he has maintained for the past few months, said DAP vice-chairman Teo Nie Ching.
Anthony Loke's resignation as transport minister was not an impulsive decision, but rather a consistent stance he had held for months, according to DAP vice-chairman Teo Nie Ching. While the move posed a challenge for the party, Loke's unwavering commitment to his principles demonstrated his dedication to safeguarding the party's position.
As Johor DAP chairman, Teo highlighted Loke's substantial contributions to the nation's transport sector during his time, specifically in bolstering logistics and rail services. Teo expressed deep emotional impact upon a leader who resigned to adhere to his principles. She emphasized the significant impact of Loke's work while leading the Transport Ministry at the 2026 Johor DAP state annual convention.
Earlier, on Tuesday, Loke submitted his resignation from the cabinet, effective immediately, following a Kuala Lumpur High Court ruling permitting former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest. Despite this, Loke stated that he and fellow DAP MPs remained supportive of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's leadership.
Anwar announced on Friday that he had not yet reached a decision and would consult with others regarding Loke's resignation, following receipt of an official letter from the DAP leader.
