What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Anthony Loke, DAP secretary-general, announced his resignation as Transport Minister on September 19, 2026, submitting his notice to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Loke stated the move was a protest against the decision to allow former Prime Minister Najib Razak to serve out a graft conviction on house arrest. While Loke stated his resignation was personal and did not involve other DAP ministers, some within the ruling coalition called for Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to resign instead of Loke.
