Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has dismissed speculation of an imminent Cabinet reshuffle, saying it is too early to consider any changes despite the approaching end of Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan’s appointment as a senator.
“Too early,” Anwar said briefly when asked whether the government was planning a Cabinet reshuffle in the near future.
He was speaking to reporters after officiating the International Construction Week 2026 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC).
Amir Hamzah’s current term as a senator is due to end on December 11.
He was appointed to the Dewan Negara on December 12, 2023, and was named Finance Minister II on the same day.
Meanwhile, Transport Minister Anthony Loke had earlier submitted a resignation letter to Anwar, stating that he would step down if former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak were released from prison to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
