PETALING JAYA: The salaries of all newly-appointed ministers should be halved, says Umno veteran Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, while sharing his opinion of the new Cabinet line-up.

The Gua Musang MP, who is popularly as Ku Li, was the sole Umno MP who did not sign a statutory declaration in support of Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob as prime minister.

"Let's pray for their salaries to be half of what they earned under Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin ," he said in a brief statement.Among the changes were Khairy Jamaluddin as Health Minister who swapped portfolios with Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba, who is now Science, Technology and Innovation Minister.Four ministers from the previous Cabinet were dropped from the latest Cabinet line-up under Ismail Sabri.

Umno's Datuk Ser Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasrah, who quit as Energy and Natural Resources Minister on Aug 3, was not reappointed to the Cabinet and his replacement is Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan from PAS.

Better 2 suspend DepMin posts since they r there merely 2 window-dress; can't even cover portfolio in Ministry or represent Minister in Cabinet when Minister on leave or away; & most bz during Parliament since Ministers find it a chore 2b present 2 answer questions.

Would be glad Ku Li walk the talk by slashing his salary by half first.
