After serving a week as the newly-minted Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has announced his full Cabinet line-up today, 9 March
Earlier today at 11am, Muhyiddin had an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, reported Malay Mail.
It is believed that the 72-year-old premier was there to present the list of the new Cabinet line-up to the Agong. He was spotted leaving Istana Negara at 12.35pm.
Here is a brief summary of Muhyiddin's Cabinet and how it differs from the former government's Cabinet line-up:
