IPOH, Dec 2 (Bernama) — The new Cabinet line-up will be announced late this afternoon, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
He said the full list of the line-up has been presented to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah for consent this morning.
“Our options are limited because, as I said before, we don’t want too many ministers or ambassadors with ministerial status so as to reduce the expenditure.
“I hope they (new Cabinet line-up) will continue to serve the country so that we can focus on reviving the economy,” he said in his speech at the “Kenduri Rakyat” event after performing Friday prayers at the Muhammad Al-Fateh Mosque in Taman Jati here today.
Anwar said the new Cabinet members would be called to attend a special meeting on Monday to discuss and finalise new government policies.
