A cabinet reshuffle is expected to take place tomorrow.
A notice to the media from Bernama states that new appointees will be sworn in around 2.30pm at Istana Negara.
An announcement is expected to be issued before the swearing in ceremony.
Earlier, The Star, citing highly placed sources, said several ministries would be affected and there might be senior MPs returning to the cabinet, as well as a few debutants.
Separately, an aide to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim also posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) that the reshuffle would be taking place "soon", but did not specify when exactly.
Cabinet reshuffle will be made soon for the betterment of this country’s administration. May Allah ease everything.

Anwar had previously hinted that the reshuffle would be taking place before the end of the year.
Currently, the domestic trade and cost of living portfolio is vacant following the death of Salahuddin Ayub in July.
Anwar has also been under pressure from critics to replace ministers deemed to be non-performing, including those from his party PKR.
There have also been calls for Anwar to appoint a second finance minister to allow him to focus more on his duties as premier instead of the treasury. - Mkini
