PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said it is still too early to consider or discuss a Cabinet reshuffle.
"It is too early; I know nothing about a (Cabinet) reshuffle," he said today.
When asked about the term of Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan’s appointment as a senator, which is set to expire on December 11, Anwar said he has not yet received any information on the matter.
"Is that so (that his appointment term is ending)? He (Amir Hamzah) hasn't said anything," he replied briefly.
It was earlier reported that the Unity Government is expected to make changes to its Cabinet lineup in the near future, following two potential vacancies.
It is understood that these changes will not involve ministers from UMNO or Barisan Nasional (BN), but will only entail replacing a representative from the DAP and another member of the administration who holds the status of a Senator.
Sources indicated that this involves the position of Anthony Loke as Minister of Transport, who reportedly wishes to resign following the DAP's decision to oppose a conditional pardon that would have allowed former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest.
Additionally, Amir Hamzah’s term as a member of the Senate (Dewan Negara) concludes this December; his tenure would need to be extended if he is to remain in the Cabinet. – November 10, 2026
