  "account": "Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated on November 10 that a Cabinet reshuffle was premature due to recent speculation regarding potential changes to the lineup following Transport Minister Anthony Loke's resignation announcement. During a press conference at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre, Anwar merely responded with \"It's too early\" when asked about the timing of the reshuffle. Loke had hinted that his final Transport Ministry engagement might be his participation in the International Construction Week and BuildXPO Malaysia 2026 event scheduled for the next day, though he did not confirm it as his farewell. Loke revealed on November 6 that he would resign upon Najib Razak's arrival at his residence, and that he would provide Anwar with an additional letter to formally conclude his tenure. According to Utusan Malaysia, the Cabinet might experience alterations in two positions: the Transport Ministry, following Loke's resignation, and the Second Finance Ministry, currently held by Amir Hamzah Azizan, whose three-year senatorial term ends on December 11. It is rumored that Amir Hamzah could maintain his portfolio, but he would need reappointment to the Senate and re-swearing in before rejoining the Cabinet. The last major Cabinet reshuffle occurred on December 16 of the previous year.",
