Malaysia’s Democratic Action Party secretary-general Anthony Loke offered to resign as transport minister after the conditional royal pardon granted to former prime minister Najib Razak. Loke said he would send his resignation letter to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, but the sources did not report that Anwar had accepted it. The offer followed a nearly three-hour party leadership meeting in Kuala Lumpur. Loke said other DAP ministers and deputy ministers would remain in cabinet to preserve the unity government’s stability, while he would continue as party secretary-general and Seremban MP.
