Rombakan Kabinet proses biasa, tak perlu bubar Parlimen, kata Fuziah

Fuziah Salleh, Deputy Minister for KPDN, stated that the government retains a majority support and should focus on pressing issues such as the rising cost of living and governmental institution reform. She emphasized that the government still has majority support and should focus on pressing issues like handling the rising cost of living, creating job opportunities, and continuing governmental reform.

She mentioned this in response to Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi's suggestion the previous day that dissolving Parliament is a better option than reshuffling the cabinet to allow the government to obtain a fresh mandate. Reshuffling the cabinet is just part of the process to strengthen governance and should not be used as a reason to reopen a politically unstable episode.

Though there may be differing opinions among leaders, political polarization should not undermine the stability we are building. She added on Facebook that instead of preoccupying oneself with political power and position, the country's fragile stability built over the past few years should not be compromised. The country is not a playground for settling political differences among leaders.

Fuziah also pointed out that the political instability from 2020 to 2022, when Malaysia was battling the Covid-19 pandemic, job losses, and soaring cost of living, should serve as a lesson on how crucial political stability is. She stressed that efforts to streamline governance, fight corruption, and strengthen national institutions require continuity and a stable administration.

The announcement came amid speculation that the cabinet reshuffle discussion would end after Finance Minister Amir Hamzah Azizan's term as a senator ended on the 11th of Dis, and the removal of Loke Siew Fook's Transportation Minister post yesterday.
