Former Transport Minister Anthony Loke has defended his decision to step down from the Cabinet, stating that upholding credibility and fulfilling public promises outweighs holding onto political positions.
PUTRAJAYA: The principle of fulfilling promises and upholding personal credibility outweighs the importance of maintaining one’s political position, said former Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
He said this principle had guided his political journey, particularly when faced with difficult decisions that required him to honour commitments made publicly.
“I resigned with effect from yesterday. It was a clear, certain and firm decision. There is no ambiguity. My stance is clear,” he said in his address at the Transport Ministry’s monthly assembly here today. Loke arrived at the ministry at 10.04 am to attend the assembly for the last time following his resignation.
