00:00 An UMNO leader has cautioned that the recent cabinet reshuffle, involving the swapping

00:07 of several portfolios among ministers from the party, could potentially upset grassroots

00:12 members.

00:14 Speaking on condition of anonymity, the division leader said that there was no justification

00:18 for reassigning top UMNO leaders to new portfolios as they had been performing well, adding that

00:24 the shake-up only served to strengthen UMNO President Ahmad Zaid Hamidi's grip on the

00:28 party at the expense of other leaders.

00:32 In the reshuffle, UMNO Deputy President Mohammad Hassan, who previously served as Defence Minister,

00:37 was made Foreign Minister.

00:40 The source said it was unlikely that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim would have reassigned

00:44 UMNO leaders to new portfolios without first discussing it with Zaid, one of his closest

00:49 allies in the government.

00:51 Meanwhile, a Johor UMNO leader claimed the cabinet shake-up would prevent ministers from

00:56 building on their good work in government.

00:59 Recently Bersatu's Wan Saiful Wan Jan had claimed that Mohammad's redesignation as Foreign

01:04 Minister would weaken him and benefit Zahid.
