Earlier today, Loke said he will stay on as transport minister until former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak begins his house arrest.

Loke had explained that his resignation is a party decision, conveying the DAP’s disagreement with the conditional pardon that allows Najib to serve the remainder of this prison term at home.

总理安华·易卜拉欣将在收到陆兆福的辞职信后，讨论其辞去交通部长一职的事宜。

根据与前总理达成的协议，陆兆福将继续担任交通部长，直到前总理纳吉布·拉扎克开始软禁为止。
