Muhyiddin loses Education portfolio too


PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has been appointed Deputy Prime Minister in a major Cabinet reshuffle which saw Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin dropped from his positions as the country’s No. 2 as well as Education Minister.

The reshuffle was announced by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yesterday following weeks of talk of a revamp. It came two days after Muhyiddin openly criticised the Government’s handling of 1MDB and other issues at a Cheras Umno meeting.
