Tun M: Cabinet reshuffle may cause more problems

Nov 21, 2019

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has defended his Cabinet amid calls for a reshuffle, following the ruling coalition's dismal defeat in the Tanjung Piai by-election.

"This government is not good at communicating and telling you what it has done. But believe me, this government has achieved much more things than you think and much more things than any government has done within the short period of 1.5 years."

However, Tun M agreed to carry out a reshuffle by next year, but warned it might cause more harm than good.
