“Ismail needs a capable team whom he can rely and depend on, and this cannot be done when parties are demanding their people be selected for specific portfolios.
“This is the most challenging part as Ismail also needs their support, and as such, the parties are not giving a free hand to the prime minister to pick his team,” said Azmi.
Ismail Sabri, who was sworn in last Saturday, has said his Cabinet lineup would be revealed by this week while confirming that Opposition lawmakers would not be included, quashing prospects of a unity government.

Upon deciding his Cabinet, Ismail Sabri is next faced with the need to rapidly address the many issues faced by the nation because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Azmi said the new prime minister would have to hit the ground running and would do well to not reappoint ministers deemed failures under the previous PN administration.
He said this would prevent Ismail Sabri’s government from repeating costly mistakes which were committed by Muhyiddin’s PN government.
“This is where certain ministries that were critical in handling the pandemic had a minister that seemed to be incapable of discharging his duties as expected, and this was because the minister was appointed not because of his abilities but because it was pushed for by his or her respective parties.
