MELAKA, Nov 13: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is seeking further discussions with Anthony Loke over his resignation as Transport Minister, signalling that the Seremban MP’s departure from the Cabinet has yet to be finalised.
Anwar said he had received Loke’s resignation letter, which was submitted with immediate effect on Nov 10, but had yet to accept it.
“Yes, it is true that Loke wrote to me tendering his resignation with immediate effect, but as Prime Minister, I have not accepted his resignation.
“So, for now, he wants to take a short break, which is fine. However, we need to discuss his resignation again,” he said while speaking at the Grand Finale of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) Jelajah PH, Melaka Rumah Kita programme in Bukit Baru yesterday (Nov 12).
