Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob unveiled his cabinet on Friday, re-appointing the finance minister and several others from the previous administration, in the hope of restoring political stability amid a COVID-19 crisis.
Ismail Sabri was sworn in as prime minister last week, succeeding Muhyiddin Yassin who had resigned after failing to cling onto a razor-thin majority in parliament.
He takes charge as public anger grows over the government's floundering attempts to contain a surge in COVID-19 cases and revive an economy battered by extended lockdowns, with the central bank slashing its 2021 growth forecast twice this year.
Ismail Sabri named as finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz, who had held the post in Muhyiddin's administration.
He also named four senior ministers to head the international trade, defence, works and education portfolios, all of whom had served in the previous government.
