Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi affirmed that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim holds the authority to remove BN ministers. This statement comes amid scrutiny of ministerial performance within the unity government. Zahid clarified that the Prime Minister is not restricted in his ability to reshuffle or dismiss ministers from BN if he deems their work unsatisfactory. He was responding to questions regarding potential reshuffles within the cabinet. This declaration aims to reassure the public and demonstrate the government's commitment to competence. It also signals a degree of deference from BN to Anwar’s leadership within the ruling coalition. Ultimately, Zahid’s comments underscore the Prime Minister’s prerogative in managing the composition of his cabinet.
