New cabinet receives mixed reactions from several quarters.
About a week after Muhyiddin Yassin was sworn in as prime minister, he has finally unveiled the new cabinet line-up.
“Under the Pakatan Harapan government, GPS also took a friendly approach with the federal government. The difference is, under Muhyiddin’s leadership, the eighth prime minister needs GPS to be in the cabinet together, to govern the country while facing tough political and economical challenges for the sake of the nation,” Fadillah said in a statement today.
“I humbly ask for everyone to continue praying for me so that I may be blessed by Allah with the strength to take on this duty and responsibility to the fullest of my capabilities,” he said while citing a hadith narrated by Abdullah Salam.The new cabinet line-up was noticeably missing the names of both PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin has defended PAS against its naysayers, saying Hadi should be commended for not insisting on a post. “Even though he submitted a name list from his party, he was not stern about a position for himself. We should praise such behaviour.“I believe the ridicule is a sin based on lies with no basis,” Mohd Asri said in a Facebook posting tonight.“Congratulations to Reezal Merican Naina Merican and Wan Fayshal Wan Kamal on their appointment as Minister and Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports.
