Malaysia Transport Minister Anthony Loke Resigns Over Najib Pardon

Loke's resignation is notable less as a coalition rupture than as a contained protest: he explicitly says other DAP ministers will stay, so the government's parliamentary arithmetic appears intact for now. The signal is that the Najib pardon is politically costly enough for the coalition's largest party that its secretary-general chose exit over acquiescence. The open question is whether this remains a single resignation or becomes a fault line inside DAP and the wider coalition.
