KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said on Wednesday he would consider a Cabinet reshuffle to address growing public discontent over his young government's handling of the country, days after a stinging by-election loss.

Tun Dr Mahathir said leaders in his Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia outfit, which contested the by-election under the PH banner, felt a Cabinet reshuffle was needed to address public complaints on issues such as high living costs and the economy. "But it won't be today or tomorrow, but after we study and consider the achievements and abilities of our current ministers. After that, then we will discuss the possibility of having a Cabinet reshuffle."

Its popularity plunged to 41 per cent in July, well below the 64 per cent rate recorded when it took over power, according to a survey by independent pollster Merdeka Centre.
