PKR’s Hassan Karim Urges Anwar to Retain Anthony Loke Ahead of Major Transport Projects

Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Abdul Karim has urged Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to persuade Anthony Loke to remain as Transport Minister, citing the need for continuity on major infrastructure projects, particularly in Johor. Hassan said Loke’s departure could affect ongoing developments. 

Hassan Karim Calls for Loke to Stay Amid Major Transport Projects

Loke had offered to resign from the Cabinet following the Federal Territories Pardons Board’s decision involving former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

However, he has continued carrying out his ministerial duties, including an official visit to China where he is scheduled to lead Malaysia’s delegation at the APEC Transport Ministers’ Meeting.

Hassan highlighted the importance of continuity as projects such as the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link move forward. Anwar has said he had not received Loke’s formal resignation letter and would discuss the matter with him before any decision is made.
