PUTRAJAYA, Nov 11 — Anthony Loke today attended his last Transport Ministry (MOT) monthly assembly after his resignation took effect yesterday.
The former transport minister arrived at the MOT lobby at 10.04am, where he was greeted by Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Hasbi Habibollah, MOT secretary-general Datuk Seri Jana Santhiran Muniayan and ministry staff.
Loke, who attended the event at Jana Santhiran’s invitation, also took part in the Cahaya Kasih Madani event held in conjunction with Deepavali.
Before entering the hall, Loke lit the kuthu vilakku, a traditional Indian oil lamp commonly used during Deepavali, religious ceremonies and cultural events.
Yesterday, Loke announced his resignation as transport minister, in response to a High Court decision for former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to serve the rest of his prison term for the SRC International Sdn Bhd case under house arrest.
