KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said it was too early to consider a Cabinet reshuffle, despite the term of Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan as a member of the Senate (Dewan Negara) ending on Dec 11.

"It is too early," he said briefly when asked whether the government intended to carry out a Cabinet reshuffle in the near future.

He was speaking to reporters at the launch of International Construction Week 2026 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) here.

Amir Hamzah was appointed as a senator on Dec 12, 2023, and subsequently named Finance Minister II.

Earlier, Transport Minister Anthony Loke had submitted his resignation letter to Anwar, to take effect should former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak be released from prison to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest. –BERNAMA
