What new Cabinet? It’s just a reshuffle, say MPs

PETALING JAYA: MPs were not impressed by the new Cabinet line-up announced by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, with many pointing out that it was very similar to the previous one under Muhyiddin Yassin, with only minor reshuffles.

“It is really a game of musical chairs with the same people rotating offices in Putrajaya,” Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh told FMT.

Yeoh said Ismail’s Cabinet was not any better than Muhyiddin’s Cabinet.

“I am very upset that Pengerang MP Azalina Othman is not named as one of the ministers but I’m glad Takiyuddin Hassan is no longer the law minister. I hope Ismail will make Azalina the Dewan Rakyat speaker for greater check and balance.”

Yeoh, a former deputy women, family and community development minister, said she was disappointed with the decision to retain Rina Harun as the women, family and community development minister.
