KUALA LUMPUR — Transport Minister Anthony Loke has confirmed he will proceed with his official working visit to China, maintaining his ministerial duties despite tendering a resignation offer to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
The minister's decision to continue with the scheduled engagement reflects the importance placed on Malaysia's transportation and bilateral relations with China. Officials indicated that Loke remains committed to fulfilling his responsibilities in the transport portfolio during this period.
The visit is expected to cover matters related to Malaysia's transport infrastructure and strategic cooperation with Chinese authorities. This development comes as Loke manages both his ministerial obligations and personal considerations that prompted the resignation offer.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's office has not publicly commented on the status of Loke's resignation offer. The minister's participation in the China visit suggests continuity in Malaysia's engagement with key regional partners on infrastructure and transportation matters.
