THE Prime Minister is certainly keeping everyone, including his Cabinet members, guessing when he will announce his new line-up. On the surface, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim may not be in a hurry to unveil the list, but the tight window period means news is imminent.
The next few days will be crucial as speculation on the changes will shift into higher gear. On Sunday, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Zahid Ahmad Hamidi, lent weight to the issue at hand by saying the Cabinet may undergo a reshuffle, which “will be soon.”
