PM to unveil cabinet line-up tomorrow: no DPM?

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26 (Sin Chew Daily) – According to the latest source of information, prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will announce the cabinet line-up tomorrow, and all the ministers are expected to be sworn in Monday afternoon.

The first cabinet meeting is expected to be held next Wednesday.

A source said the new cabinet may go without a deputy prime minister because of the stiff competition for the position.

To boost the overall image and efficiency of the new cabinet, it is said that Khairy Jamaluddin will be given a more important portfolio.

“He could land in the health ministry.” said the source.

Meanwhile, there might be changes to earlier belief that there could be two finance ministers. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, former finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz is expected to be reappointed to this portfolio.
