Speaking to the media in Shah Alam, Anwar expressed his desire to hear Loke's views before making any decision. He noted that Loke has consistently opposed measures that might portray the government as weak or lenient towards corruption. Anwar emphasized that he wants to meet Loke to understand his perspective. The PM mentioned that Loke informed him of his decision after chairing an emergency DAP central executive committee meeting the previous day. Loke planned to bring the resignation letter during their meeting. Anwar also mentioned that he will be heading to Melaka while Loke will be in Shanghai.",
