Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof has stated that he is not aware of any cabinet reshuffle as no discussions has occurred with him. The Plantation and Commodities Minister, also mentioned that it is within the Prime Minister’s discretion to reshuffle the cabinet, and that he is confident the PM will be considering individuals’ abilities and suitability for their portfolios.
This statement comes after news broke out that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has confirmed that he will reshuffle his cabinet before the end of the year. Speculation has been rife since the Unity administration turned one, with many queries raised about some of the underperforming ministers and their continued presence in the cabinet.
Anwar, who has been running a tight ship, has not publicly criticized his ministers for their shortcomings. However, there are one or two ministers who seem to be outside the Prime Minister’s inner circle.
