Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has at long last announced the Cabinet line-up for his administration, ending a week’s worth of speculation among pundits and political spectators alike as to who it may consist of. This is especially in light of the fact that Anwar is currently leading a unity government that was formed under the recommendation of His Majesty, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, after the 15th General Elections resulted in Malaysia’s first hung Parliament.
