KUALA LUMPUR, August 12 – Speculation is rife about a potential Cabinet reshuffle, with reports suggesting that a prominent senior minister may be removed or reassigned. According to Free Malaysia Today, unnamed sources indicate that the minister in question could be moved to another ministry or dropped entirely to accommodate a menteri besar rumored to be poised for a federal promotion. This shift could occur before the end of the month, with discussions ongoing among key political figures.

The report cites sources from both PKR and DAP, who confirm that changes are likely, including potential promotions for deputy ministers. The last Cabinet reshuffle took place in December 2023, which saw significant changes, including the removal of V Sivakumar and the introduction of new ministers Dzulkefly Ahmad and Johari Ghani. This latest potential reshuffle could further alter the composition of the federal leadership.
