KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 4 — Despite Barisan Nasional being disproportionately represented in the new Cabinet, with major portfolios given to its representatives, political analysts said that they would not exert undue influence on the government’s decisions, policies, or reforms.

“We know Umno would always be a problem should the president not have any post in the Cabinet. So the BN appointments are to ensure that the support for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as the prime minister is always there,” he toldMeanwhile, University of Malaya Centre for Democracy and Elections sociopolitical analyst Associate Professor Awang Azman Awang Pawi said that BN representation in the newly formed Cabinet is fairly balanced.

“So, in this context, it is obvious Anwar did not want this group of people to be in the Cabinet as the prime minister’s target is to have a stable, harmonious Cabinet, and not a prejudicial one,” he said. However, senior fellow at the Singapore Institute of International Affairs Oh Ei Sun said that the appointment of BN representatives to major portfolios in the Cabinet would bring unwarranted influence in government decision-making.
