NEW UNITY GOVT CABINET HAS ABILITY TO BOOST NATION’S ECONOMY – FAHMI

PUTRAJAYA, The new Unity Government Cabinet led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is better in terms of numbers, experience and ability to develop the nation’s economy, said government spokesperson Fahmi Fadzil.

Fahmi, who is also Communications Minister, told a press conference here today that some analysts stated that the reshuffled Cabinet line-up announced yesterday is much better than the Cabinet of the previous government.

Commenting on the statement by PAS Information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari, who described the new Cabinet line-up as disappointing, Fahmi said: "For those who are disappointed, my advice is not to hide your disappointment, come to the negotiating table. We will decide on some things and we will live in harmony and peace."

Meanwhile, Fahmi said Anwar wanted the Cabinet ministers to work hard to solve the people's problems.

"With the example of technocrats, there are several members of Parliament who have served in the Cabinet, so there is a positive sign of acceptance among the people and the grassroots and perhaps among the corporate sector.
