KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 12 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has dismissed reports of a Cabinet reshuffle.
Anwar said he was not aware of such a plan.
“I was just informed about this. I haven't heard anything … Who is planning to help with the reshuffle? This is serious; I’ve not heard anything,” he said.
He said this to reporters after opening the Malaysia Commercialisation Year Summit at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre today.
Anwar was commenting on a news portal’s report today, which quoted sources as saying another Cabinet reshuffle is coming, less than a year after the last shake-up.
When asked whether a menteri besar will be appointed to Cabinet, as reported by the portal, he said this may happen after the general election.
“After the election, God willing,” he said.
When the cabinet was reshuffled in December, the number of ministers increased from 29 to 31.
