Muhyiddin’s cabinet of fear
FEAR is the most important factor underlining the choices of Muhyiddin Yassin’s cabinet. The prime minister is fearful of his own team members, some of whom were his fellow plotters that brought down the Pakatan Harapan government recently.that the former PKR deputy president is not given any senior position, either at the Ministry of Economic Affairs or Ministry of Finance which I heard he had been craving for quite some time.
I am quite sure Azmin is now a disappointed man after spending more than a year as the prime mover of the recent political coup. His supporters, too, would have wanted him to be rewarded handsomely. Under Muhyiddin, despite being named as a “senior minister”, Azmin is now merely handling a junior portfolio, at least compared with his previous MEA.
Senior leaders, such as Hishammuddin Hussein, who was rumoured to be deputy prime minister is also relegated to a relatively less important ministry. In fact, for now Muhyiddin does not have a DPM.
