KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's new Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin named the chief executive of CIMB Group as finance minister on Monday (March 9), and appointed a new head of the anti-graft commission investigating how billions of dollars went missing from sovereign fund 1MDB.

Sworn in a week ago, Muhyiddin emerged at the head of a new coalition after days of political chaos following the abrupt resignation of veteran leader Mahathir Mohamad late last month.

Earlier on Monday, the prime minister's office announced the appointment of Azam Baki as the new chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission, after the resignation of Latheefa Koya last week following Mahathir's resignation. The new lineup also includes Mustapa Mohamed, a former trade minister, as a minister in the prime minister's department in charge of the economy.

Bossku happy lo..hahaga.. funny politic..

Gotta give credit when due. This is a good choice.

Obviously out to gobble up public and hongleong bank.

Bossku's younger brother golfing buddy. As good as putting a Razak back into the cookie jar

Doesn't mean he can handle national treasury like what he did in banking. But just have a try, see how far this cabinet can go.

good choice

Tengku Zafrul thanks PM for opportunity to serve Malaysia as finance minister | Malay MailKUALA LUMPUR, March 9 — Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz who will be appointed as senator to be the finance minister vowed to give his best to the nation. In a statement, Tengku Zafrul thanked Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for giving him an opportunity to serve the country.... Ok, Najib's proxy? He obviously doesn't understand politics. He won't be in the job for long. Why would anyone in the corporate world accept this job in these very difficult economic times? His job is not to steer the national economy. It is to find a way out for those on trial. 👏
