HANGZHOU — DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke has given no indication of reversing course on his resignation as Transport Minister, declaring his determination to proceed with the decision after completing his China trip.
Loke made the statement while in Hangzhou, confirming that he will formally hand in his resignation letter once he returns from his visit. The move marks a significant political development within the ruling coalition, with the minister appearing to have settled on his course of action.
The resignation comes amid ongoing political discussions within the government and the DAP party. Loke's decision to resign from his ministerial portfolio is expected to trigger a reshuffle within the Transport Ministry, with the government needing to identify a successor to the position.
The timing of Loke's departure during the parliamentary term will likely prompt broader discussions about ministerial changes and cabinet reorganisation. Political observers are watching closely to see how the government will respond to the ministerial vacancy and whether further adjustments to the cabinet structure may follow.
Loke's firm stance on the matter suggests the resignation process will proceed without further delay once he concludes his current official commitments in China.
