The federal territories minister says the DAP secretary-general wanted ministers from the party to complete their work.
“Should have been me walking out today but my secretary-general wanted us to complete the work promised to the people,” she wrote on Instagram, referring to federal ministers from DAP.
“And so he paid the price himself,” Yeoh said regarding Loke’s resignation as transport minister which took effect earlier today.
Yeoh, who is DAP deputy secretary-general, also posted a few photographs of her and Loke at government and party events.
Loke had announced his resignation as transport minister in September but said it would only take effect when Najib began serving his SRC International jail term under house arrest.
Loke tendered his resignation after Najib was granted a conditional pardon, but Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim urged him to continue his duties until Najib’s house arrest commenced.
Najib was jailed in August 2022 after the Federal Court upheld his conviction for abuse of power, criminal breach of trust and money laundering involving RM42 million in SRC funds. He was sentenced to 12 years’ jail and fined RM210 million.
In January 2024, then Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah halved his prison sentence and reduced his fine to RM50 million as part of a royal pardon.
Two months ago, the current Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, granted Najib a further conditional pardon, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.
This was subject to Najib’s payment of a RM50 million fine and compliance with all other stipulated conditions. - FMT
