KUALA LUMPUR: DAP Deputy National Publicity Secretary Hannah Yeoh has expressed regret over Anthony Loke's decision to resign as Transport Minister with immediate effect today.

Hannah, who is also minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories), said she should have been the one to step down, but Loke wanted to ensure that the party fulfilled its promises to the people and completed outstanding work.

"I should have been the one to resign today, but my secretary-general wanted us to fulfil all our promises to the people and complete the work that remains unfinished.

"In the end, he was the one who paid the price," she said in a Facebook post today.
