Ismail Sabri named as finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz, who also held the post in Muhyiddin's administration.
"The formulation of this cabinet is a re-formulation based on the current situation, in order to maintain stability and prioritising the interests and safety of the Malaysian people above all," Ismail Sabri said in a televised address. Ismail Sabri's appointment saw the return of his party, the United Malays National Organisation , to the top office, after it was defeated in a 2018 election amid widespread corruption allegations.
