Before the reshuffle, speculations and rumours about the reshuffle have been rife. In response, Anwar, Deputy Prime Ministers Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Fadillah Yusof as well as other Cabinet ministers neither confirmed nor denied.[4][5][6][7][8][9] They and other Members of Parliament (MPs) also stressed that carrying out a reshuffle is the prerogative of Anwar as the Prime Minister.[10][11] Some political parties also voiced their opinions on the reshuffle.[12] Anwar added that the vacant position would only be filled when there was a suitable candidate.[13] Fadillah added that Anwar would carry out the reshuffle based on skillset, knowledge and expertise of an individual.[14] On 11 December 2023, it was confirmed that the cabinet reshuffle would be carried out with the swearing-in ceremony of the new Cabinet ministers and deputy ministers taking place at the Istana Negara at 2.30 pm the following day on 12 December 2023.[15]
