KUALA LUMPUR: Although he accepted Anthony Loke's decision to resign, Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan says he will certainly miss the now-former Transport Minister.
"I am sad, of course. He is my good friend and colleague.
"I will miss my friend in the Cabinet, but I have accepted his decision to resign.
"He (Loke) is a principled man, and we accept it,“ he said when met after the The Perkeso iLindung U Media Awards 2026 at the Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel on Wednesday (Nov 11) night.
On the possibility of a Cabinet reshuffle, Ramanan said he has not heard any news on the matter.
“The Prime Minister will decide on that. As of now, we have not been informed on anything,” he said.
On Tuesday (Nov 10), Loke resigned from the Cabinet with immediate effect following the Kuala Lumpur High Court's decision allowing former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve his sentence under house arrest.
In a statement, Loke said the decision was consistent with the position he had announced last Friday (Nov 6).
"Following the decision of the Kuala Lumpur High Court today for Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to serve his sentence under house arrest, and in line with the position I announced last Friday, my resignation as the Minister of Transport takes effect immediately," he said.
