Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook has offered his resignation following deliberations within the Democratic Action Party's central executive council, according to the party's deputy secretary-general Hannah Yeoh.
Yeoh indicated that the CEC had considered various proposals before arriving at the decision for Loke to step down from his ministerial post. The announcement marks a significant development within DAP's leadership hierarchy as the party navigates internal discussions on key positions.
Loke, who has held the transport portfolio, has been a prominent figure within DAP and the broader government coalition. The resignation offer comes after what party officials characterised as consultative processes within the party's top decision-making body.
Details regarding the effective date of the resignation and potential successors have not been immediately clarified. The development is likely to prompt broader discussions within DAP and the ruling coalition regarding ministerial portfolios and party responsibilities.
