Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Loke Siew Fook was trustworthy, had a good track record in government and had worked hard to introduce various initiatives at the transport ministry that benefitted the public. (Bernama pic)PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says he wants to hold further discussions with Loke Siew Fook over the DAP secretary-general’s resignation as transport minister.

Anwar said he had yet to decide whether to accept Loke's resignation letter, as he wanted to discuss the matter with the latter first.

“Yes, Loke did write to me tendering his immediate resignation, but as prime minister, I have not accepted it. We need to discuss his resignation again,” he was quoted by Bernama as saying in Bukit Baru, Melaka.
