KUALA LUMPUR: There might be pleasant surprises in the new cabinet of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Not only will there be more new faces, several senior ministers may also not get appointed, including former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and senior defense minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, Free Malaysia Today reported, quoting a source.

The source said that was because Ismail and Hishammuddin were initially opposed to working with Pakatan Harapan in forming a unity government.
