The Aporia · Malaysia’s Loke resigns as transport minister following Najib’s house arrest approval

Malaysian transport minister Anthony Loke has resigned from his position following the king's approval for former Prime Minister Najib Razak to serve a conditional house arrest rather than prison time. Loke, secretary general of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), stated that his resignation is personal and does not affect other party members in their roles. The DAP expressed respect for the king’s decision but also took a stance against it, as many within the party do not accept Najib being allowed to serve his sentence under house arrest until 2028.
