‘Not urgent’: PM Anwar says may discuss Cabinet reshuffle during weekly audience with Agong

September 29, 2023

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that he might broach the subject of a possible Cabinet reshuffle during his scheduled weekly audience with Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, which is taking place today.

He said that a Cabinet reshuffle was not a pressing concern at the moment as only one vacancy needed to be filled, referring to the post of minister of domestic trade and cost of living, which was previously held by Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub who died in July.

“The audience with the Agong happens on a weekly basis, so I am considering it.

“It is not urgent because there is only one vacancy,” he told reporters after the launch of Tabung Haji’s 60th anniversary celebration here, today.
