In a recent development, Datuk Seri R. Ramanan, the Deputy Minister of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives, has shed light on the ongoing speculation surrounding a potential Cabinet reshuffle. Ramanan, who has been rumored as a possible candidate for the reshuffle, has revealed that he has not received any communication from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim regarding such plans.
"I have not been informed of any possible reshuffle. However, I believe it's best to allow the Prime Minister to make the announcement at the most appropriate time or whenever he deems it necessary," Ramanan stated during an interview after the launch of a smartboard initiative for SJK(T) on Tuesday, December 9th.
The PKR vice-president is one of the notable names being considered for the reshuffle to fill existing vacancies. However, Anwar has indicated that only current vacancies are likely to be filled, and a major reshuffle is not expected at this time.
This statement from Ramanan clarifies the current situation, but it also raises questions about the future of the Cabinet. Will there be a reshuffle, and if so, who will be the beneficiaries? The speculation continues, and the public awaits further updates from the Prime Minister's office.
