  "account": "Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim expressed his desire to further discuss Loke Siew Fook's resignation as transport minister. The DAP secretary-general had tendered his immediate resignation, but Anwar has not yet accepted it, stating that they must continue their discussions. Loke's resignation came following a High Court order allowing former Prime Minister Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his SRC International prison sentence under house arrest. Anwar praised Loke for his trustworthiness, good track record in government, and hard work in introducing initiatives at the transport ministry that benefited the public. He questioned the rationale behind wanting Loke to step down while asking those who performed poorly to remain in their positions.",
  "summary": "The prime minister says the DAP secretary-general has been among the hardest-working ministers.",
