SHAH ALAM — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated that he had not received any formal resignation letter from Transport Minister Anthony Loke as of Friday, casting uncertainty over the status of the minister's reported exit from the Cabinet.
Anwar's remarks came following speculation about Loke's position within the government. The Prime Minister indicated that until such a formal document is submitted, there has been no official confirmation of the minister's departure.
Loke, who has held the Transport portfolio under the current administration, has been a prominent figure in the Cabinet. His potential resignation would represent a significant change in the government's ministerial lineup, particularly in the crucial transport sector.
The situation highlights the importance of formal procedures in government transitions, with the Prime Minister emphasizing that official channels must be followed for ministerial changes to be recognized. Further clarity on Loke's status is expected once formal documentation is submitted to the Prime Minister's office.
