00:00Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says there has been no discussion on a cabinet reshuffle following the resignations of two ministers yesterday.
00:10He said that they are currently on leave and cannot be replaced during this period.
00:15Although Anwar did not name them, the Prime Minister's office yesterday confirmed that he had received resignation letters from Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad and approved their leave applications.
00:27Rafizi and Nik Nazmi announced their resignations as Economy Minister and Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister following their defeat at the recent PQR Central Leadership elections.
00:40Rafizi previously said party leaders who lose internal elections should make way for those who have been given a new mandate, adding that this was the practice in countries that upheld democratic principles.
00:52Rafizi failed to retain his position as PQR Deputy President, losing to Nurul Izzah Anwar while Nik Nazmi lost the contest for a Vice President's post.
