PETALING JAYA: Batu Gajah MP V. Sivakumar accepts his dismissal as a member of the Cabinet.

He also said he had tried his best to perform throughout his one-year tenure as Human Resources Minister.

"I would like to thank everyone in the ministry who had worked with me," he said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday (Dec 12).

He also took the opportunity to congratulate the new Cabinet line-up.
