Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today (August 27) unveiled the list of ministers and deputy ministers with the consent of Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
“The cabinet formed today is a management team that will work with the people. The Cabinet needs to work fast and be united in the effort of freeing Malaysia from the threats of the COVID-19 pandemic, economic downturn and political turmoil,” Ismail explained.
According to him, the cabinet will run on three principles: be alert for current needs, be responsible and trustworthy, as well as restore the confidence of the people.
“The cabinet also takes a new approach which is more open and follows the aspirations of the Malaysian Family (Keluarga Malaysia) with more efficient delivery of service and information,” he stated during the televised announcement.
“I will ensure that the cabinet prioritises high-performance work culture. Thus, every Ministry needs to make short-term and long-term plannings as well as achieve the set targets,” he said, adding that every ministry needs to prove early achievement in the period of the first 100 days.
