Phew! Such a long list!
According to Malaysiakini, four ministers on the list are from PKR while Bersatu, DAP, and Amanah got two ministers each. Therefore, led by the prime minister and deputy prime minister – Tun Dr Mahathir and Dr Wan Azizah, respectively – these ministers will represent the Malaysian people in parliament and become the essential lawmakers of our beloved country.

So, we hope that this colourful list of ministers will continue to fight the good fight and always choose to serve Malaysians justly. #Salute
Apart from that, we must also play our part as citizens and participate in dialogues that matter and actively cooperate with the government to help our country progress. United we stand, divided we fall!
Here’s to a new and better Malaysia! Malaysia Boleh!
