The boy obliged and asked: "Datuk Seri, when is the Cabinet reshuffle?"

Anwar the replied: "When do you propose, before or after 2024?"

When the boy said "before 2024", Anwar smiled and told the waiting reporters: "He said before 2024. I agree."

Earlier, Anwar joined 2,000 congregants including the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar for Friday prayers led by Imam Amirul Aqif Ismail.
