‘Recycled’ Cabinet line-up is disappointing, says Anwar

The opposition leader says ministers who failed to perform have been reappointed.

Anwar Ibrahim said the line-up may fail to inject confidence and spur growth among investors in the country and those wanting to invest in the country.
PETALING JAYA:
Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has called the new Cabinet a “recycled line-up with ministers who had failed to perform in the last 1.5 years being reappointed”.

“It is disappointing. We had hoped for changes but it did not happen,” he said in his Facebook live.

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob had earlier this morning announced the new Cabinet line-up.

Anwar, the Port Dickson MP, said the reaction to the line-up had shown it is a disappointing one and that a more effective line-up is needed to battle the ongoing health and economic crises.

He added that the prime minister has given the ministers 100 days to prove their worth but “there has been no changes for the past one and a half years”.

The line-up, he said, may also fail to inject confidence and spur growth among investors in the country and those wanting to invest in the country.

He said the opposition would monitor and object to any ineffective programme or measure, for the sake of the rakyat.
