KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians hope that the Cabinet reshuffle will result in enhanced government services and the introduction of new approaches to tackle prevailing challenges.
A private sector employee, Noor Abdul Aziz, 35, from Ipoh, agrees that a slight change in administration is necessary to enable the government to focus more on tackling diverse challenges, particularly those related to the cost of living.
“It is hoped that those entrusted with this responsibility will fulfil their duties to the best of their abilities and heed the concerns of the people,” he said in an interview with Bernama.
Muhammad Adib Rahimi, a 23-year-old public servant from Kangar, said the Cabinet reshuffle demonstrates the government’s commitment to transparent administration, aiming to fortify both the nation’s objectives and the people’s interests.
“With this reshuffle, the appointed ministers and deputy ministers will do their best to be retained in the administration lineup by the Prime Minister,” he said.
Universiti Malaya Youth Leaders Association founder Lim San Shien hopes the Cabinet reshuffle will enhance public services to function more effectively and deliver excellent and best services for the welfare of the people.
A representative of the Thai community, Mek Kedi Ichan, 48, from Kota Baru, said that the Cabinet reshuffle demonstrates the maturity and credibility of the government in ensuring that all aspects of people’s lives are addressed as efficiently as possible.
‘’To tackle these challenges effectively, we need a strong and smart government that can address them without being influenced by religious, racial, ethnic, or political differences,” she said.
Meanwhile, the general public also expressed excitement about the reappointment of some former ministers who have extensive experience in previous government administrations.
K. Devi, a 27-year-old health writer from Kuala Terengganu, is enthusiastic about the return of Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, the Kuala Selangor MP and former health minister. She recognises his outstanding performance, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“I have confidence in his proven track record, which speaks volumes about his capabilities for the position. Given my involvement in the health sector, my primary concern amid the reshuffle was the Health Ministry.
Considering the recent challenges our country’s health system has faced, I trust that Dr Dzulkefly can implement more effective measures to address the pressing issues,” she said.
