JUST IN: Meet PM Ismail Sabri’s new Cabinet lineup

Malaysia’s newly-minted Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has announced his Cabinet lineup today (August 27), a day after Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah granted him an audience at Istana Abdulaziz in Kuantan.

The Cabinet will continue to have four senior ministers, but no Deputy Prime Minister, according to The Star.

The four senior ministers from the previous administration were retained, namely International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadilah Yusof, and Education Minister Datuk Seri Radzi Jidin.

Meanwhile, Khairy Jamaluddin, who is the coordinating minister of the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, has swapped portfolios with Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba as the new Health Minister. Dr Adham takes over as Science, Technology and Innovation Minister.

Other key appointments include Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz, who has been reappointed as Finance Minister.

"The government will ensure that the new Cabinet line-up is committed to realising the national agenda through inter-party cooperation to drive the nation's economic recovery," Ismail Sabri said in his announcement.

He added that the Cabinet’s main tasks is to tackle Covid-19 and to recover the economy, and all ministers must prove their performance within their first 100 days in office.

This announcement comes a week after Datuk Seri Ismail was installed as Malaysia's ninth premier, following the collapse of the PN administration on August 16.
