Give Cabinet time to prove their worth, says Khairy

The Star

The present Cabinet should be given more time to prove their worth before any reshuffling takes place, said Khairy Jamaluddin.

00:00 Yes, of course there must be an effort to fill the void

00:09 because of the departure of Datuk Seri Saluhuddin Ayub, the late.

00:15 And I see that the Prime Minister has two choices.

00:22 One, to make a filling for the void only.

00:28 The other is to make a big change.

00:32 So now, the Prime Minister's calculations and considerations

00:37 are that he wants to take this opportunity to make a big change

00:44 to the cabinet.

00:47 But my view is that it's a bit too early

00:51 because it's not even a year yet.

00:53 And it's a bit unusual for the Prime Minister to be elected

00:58 in such a short period of time.

01:02 Usually, in my experience, after two years,

01:07 there is a cabinet election.

01:09 After the ministers are given the opportunity to show their achievements.

01:15 Ten or eleven months is not enough for us to see the results.

01:20 Although some may make early calculations,

01:25 but to be fair to the cabinet,

01:32 they need a little more time to show their achievements.

01:37 So the easiest way is to fill the void

01:43 in the KPDN-HEP or KPDN Tarah Hidup.

01:48 So there is no need for the current time?

01:52 For me, maybe the ministers have other considerations,

01:58 for me, it's a bit too early.

02:01 Five years is the time for the parliament.

02:04 It's not even a year yet for the ministers to hold office.

02:08 It's normal to have complaints and criticism.

02:12 I'm used to being a member of the cabinet.

02:15 But to hold a big election,

02:18 let's say it's only half the time.

02:22 In football, half the time is after two years.

02:28 There are also suggestions,

02:32 maybe there are new ministries that are being established.

02:36 For example, the Ministry of the Interior.

02:39 That's a new ministry that was closed after the last election.

02:47 Maybe that's a consideration,

02:50 because there have been ministers who have established a ministry,

02:55 and some haven't.

02:57 The Minister of the Interior chose not to establish a ministry.

03:02 But going back to the issue of the tree,

03:05 I think the big elections are still too early.
