Within five days of Najib Abdul Razak’s ascension as prime minister, speculation about the upcoming cabinet reshuffle is already making the rounds.
Malaysiakini reports that 10 current Cabinet ministers may be dropped. The list are as follows:
1. Tourism Minister Azalina Othman
2. Rural and Regional Development Minister Muhammad Muhd Taib
3. Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar
4. Second Finance Minister Nor Mohamed Yakcop
5. Energy, Water and Communications Minister Shaziman Abu Mansor
6. Federal Territories Minister Zulhasnan Rafique
7. Foreign Affairs Minister Rais Yatim
8. Information Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek
9. Higher Education Minister Khaled Nordin
10. Housing and Local Government Minister Ong Ka Chuan
The Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Shahrir Samad has already tendered his resignation much earlier.
Is the New PM Najib doing his spring cleaning far too early?
We will soon know after the 7th April.
This is a very interesting development and all of us must be anxiously waiting for the final outcome of the New PM's decision, who is he going to drop-off from the present Cabinet line-up?
