Malaysia s transport minister resigns

28-09-2026 07:00

An important politician in Malaysia, Anthony Loke, wants to quit his job as transport minister. He is unhappy because ex leader Najib Razak can leave prison to live at home under house arrest.

Anthony Loke says that all people must follow the law. His political party is very big and strong. Other ministers in his party will stay in the government. They want to keep the country safe and stable so the government does not end.

Loke says that public buses and train projects will keep working normally.

Difficult words: transport minister (the top politician who cares about roads and public travel infrastructure), house arrest (when a person must stay at home instead of in prison), government (a group of people who run a country).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
