Too early to discuss cabinet reshuffle, says Anwar

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has stated that it is premature to discuss a cabinet reshuffle. This comes after rumors about the potential positions of Finance Minister II Amir Hamzah Azizan and Transport Minister Anthony Loke, who could face vacancies. Amir Hamzah's term as a Dewan Negara member is set to expire soon, and his continued presence in the cabinet would require an extension of his appointment.

Transport Minister Loke, on the other hand, is anticipated to resign once former Prime Minister Najib Razak arrives at his residence to serve his remaining sentence under house arrest. Anwar expressed this sentiment when queried about a cabinet reshuffle, mentioning that it was "too early" to entertain the idea. He was attending the International Construction Week and International Building and Construction Exhibition at the time.

Earlier, Utusan Malaysia had reported that the unity government might consider a minor cabinet reshuffle due to the two possible vacancies, with sources indicating that Loke and Amir Hamzah were involved.
