First among equals? PM says Azmin to chair Cabinet meetings if he’s not around

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin says that while the four senior ministers he appointed are all “equal”, Datuk Seri Azmin Ali will chair Cabinet meetings whenever he is absent.

“In my absence, Azmin will chair my Cabinet. If Azmin is absent, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will chair,” he said at Perdana Putra here Wednesday (March 11) after chairing his first Cabinet meeting.
