Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin eschewed naming a deputy prime minister today, choosing instead to appoint four “senior ministers” to advise him in his duties.
They four are former PKR leader Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali as Minister of International Trade and Industry, Umno’s Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob as Defence Minister, Parti Warisan Sabah’s Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof as Works Minister, and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s Mohd Radzi Md Jidin as Education Minister.
No such senior minister was appointed from Islamist party PAS.
Meanwhile, CIMB Group chief executive Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz will be appointed as senator to be the Minister of Finance.
