MELAKA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has indicated that he wants further discussions with Anthony Loke over his resignation as Transport Minister, saying the matter should be reconsidered despite the DAP secretary-general’s decision to step down.

Anwar said Loke had promptly submitted his resignation letter, but maintained that he had yet to accept it.

“Anthony wrote to me immediately, but as prime minister, I have yet to accept his resignation letter.

“He can take leave, but if he wants to resign, we need to discuss it again,” he said during the Jelajah Harapan Melaka Rumah Kita grand finale in Hang Tuah Jaya on Thursday night.
