00:00Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Iwan Benedict has sparked speculation
00:06about his cabinet position after attending a farewell event organized by his ministry
00:10staff in Putrajaya yesterday.
00:13Rita Harian quoted a source as saying that Iwan also announced he would be on leave from
00:18November 11th to 29th but did not comment on resigning from his ministerial post.
00:23During a meeting with ministry staff and agencies in Timurlo last week, he said it might be
00:28his last speech as Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister.
00:32Iwan had previously said that he was prepared to relinquish his ministerial post if the federal
00:37government appeals the Kota Kinabalu High Court's decision affirming Sabah's constitutional right
00:42to receive 40% of federal revenue collected from the state.
00:46In his closing speech at the Penampang APCO convention earlier, Iwan had said he had informed
00:51the Prime Minister, deputies as well as other ministers of his stance on the court decision.
00:56He added that his stance aligned with the resolution passed by the Penampang APCO division which
01:01called for his resignation from the cabinet if the Attorney General's chambers proceeded
01:05with the appeal.
01:07Yesterday, Higher Education Minister Zamri Abdelkader also hinted that a cabinet reshuffle may take
01:12place within the next two to three weeks.
