Thumbs up for cabinet reshuffle


Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan.

PETALING JAYA: Economists and analysts are largely bullish about the cabinet reshuffle carried out by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, in particular to the ministries tasked with steering the country’s economy and capital markets.

Anwar announced a number of major changes to his cabinet yesterday, and perhaps the most eye-catching one of all is the appointment of former chief executive officer (CEO) of the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan as the second Finance Minister.
