Loke Siew Fook was appointed the transport minister in 2022.PETALING JAYA: Loke Siew Fook’s resignation as transport minister will take effect once former prime minister Najib Razak, who is expected to serve the remainder of his corruption sentence under house arrest, enters his home.
Loke, who was appointed transport minister in 2022, tendered his resignation in September, after Najib was granted a conditional pardon.
However, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim requested Loke to continue his duties until Najib was released.
Earlier today Umno settled a RM50 million fine – a prerequisite attached to the conditional pardon Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim had granted the former Pekan MP – following a crowdfunding initiative.
