Kuala Lumpur:Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has stated that it is not yet the appropriate time to consider a reshuffle of the Cabinet, despite the impending conclusion of Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan's term as a member of the Senate on December 11.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Anwar briefly commented, "It is too early," when questioned about the government's intention to conduct a Cabinet reshuffle in the near future. His remarks were made at the launch of the International Construction Week 2026 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC).

Amir Hamzah was appointed as a senator on December 12, 2023, simultaneously assuming the role of Finance Minister II. In related developments, Transport Minister Anthony Loke has submitted a resignation letter to Anwar, which will become effective if former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is released from prison to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
