Anwar says he has yet to accept Loke’s resignation, no need to rush

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said there is no need to rush in deciding on Transport Minister Anthony Loke’s resignation.

“I have received the letter, and he says it takes effect, but I will naturally take time to review it, and there is no need for us to rush.

“I have given myself time to discuss and review it again. I have not accepted the resignation,” he told reporters after performing Friday prayers at Madrasathul Gouthiyyah Surau in Brickfields.

He said Loke was absent from the cabinet meeting earlier, but that nothing else was unusual.
