00:00Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's second cabinet reshuffle announced on Tuesday saw some emerging
00:06with big gains while others ended up with setbacks.
00:10PKR, of which Anwar is president, is the clear winner, with four of its leaders elevated
00:16to full ministerial positions and several others appointed as deputy ministers.
00:22Meanwhile, already bruised by a disastrous outing at the Sabah state election, the DAP
00:27saw its influence in the federal government blunted as two of its ministers have been
00:32reassigned to less important portfolios.
00:36UMNO saw another significant gain regaining the Miti portfolio through one of its vice presidents,
00:41Johari Ghani, while its Juanita chief, Noraini Ahmad, was promoted to Plantation and Commodities
00:46Minister from her previous role as Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development.
00:51However, for MCA and MIC, this cabinet reshuffle was another blower for both parties, which
00:58are in the midst of reassessing their future in BN and the unity government have been left
01:02with nothing again.
01:04Finally, Dr. Zaliha Mustafa and Naim Mokhtar are perhaps the biggest casualties in the cabinet
01:10reshuffle as both served as ministers in the Prime Minister's Department until the reshuffle,
01:15Zaliha overseeing the Federal Territories and Naim in charge of religious affairs.
