Malaysian PM Anwar Names New Trade, Economy Ministers ...
Prime Minister Anwar appointed 10 new ministers, reassigned 14, and dropped several to stabilize governance and boost economic growth amid political and public pressures.
- On Dec 16, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced a cabinet reshuffle in Kuala Lumpur, reassigning senior ministers and promoting new faces to bolster the administration ahead of the next general election.
- Vacancies caused by expired senate terms and ministers stepping down, including Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, prompted Anwar to fill posts and stress stronger governance.
- The reshuffle installs 10 new ministers, 18 deputy ministers and 14 ministers reassigned, including Arthur Josep Kurup as Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister and Hannah Yeoh reassigned to the Prime Minister's Department.
- Several full ministers were dropped, including Zaliha Mustafa and Mohd Na'im Mokhtar, whose exclusion surprised observers after being sworn in as senator on Dec 3, while Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz left trade ministry to chair MIDA.
- Coming after several high-profile exits earlier this year, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's cabinet reshuffle aims to reinforce governance amid internal disagreements and public discontent, despite earlier saying a major reshuffle was 'not on the cards'.
