  "summary": "Transport Minister Anthony Loke will proceed with his official visit to China despite offering to resign from his cabinet position over the conditional royal pardon granted to former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. The Ministry of Transport (MOT) confirmed that Loke will lead Malaysia's delegation to the 12th Apec Transport Ministers' Meeting in Beijing, where he will engage in high-level bilateral meetings and sign two key MoUs. The first MoU focuses on broad transport cooperation between Malaysia and China, including land, rail, maritime, aviation, and logistics sectors. The second MoU establishes a framework for aviation safety cooperation between the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). Loke will also travel to Shanghai to join Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's official delegation before returning to Malaysia to attend to matters related to his appointment as transport minister.",
