PUTRAJAYA: Anthony Loke will focus on strengthening DAP, carrying out his responsibilities as an MP and continuing to support the Prime Minister under Pakatan Harapan following his resignation as Transport Minister.
The DAP secretary-general said his resignation took effect on Tuesday (Nov 10) and he would cease carrying out his ministerial duties from Wednesday (Nov 11).
"As far as I am concerned, my resignation is already effective yesterday. I will stop my duty beginning today," he said during a press conference after the ministry's monthly assembly and Cahaya Kasih Madani event in conjunction with the Deepavali festival here on Wednesday.
Asked about his future priorities, Loke said his focus would be on his responsibilities as DAP secretary-general and as an MP, while continuing to support Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the Pakatan Harapan administration.
On the proposed constitutional amendments, he expressed hope that both would be tabled in Parliament during the current term, before its dissolution.
He said DAP would support the amendments, adding that the matter was a collective decision of the Cabinet.
Meanwhile, when asked whether he would attend the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) ceremony next month, Loke said he would attend if invited.
"If I'm invited, then I'll attend," he said.
