SHAH ALAM Pelantikan Ahli Parlimen Sungai Buloh, Datuk Seri R Ramanan sebagai Menteri Sumber Manusia yang baharu diharap dapat membawa sinar dan perubahan positif kepada persekitaran pekerjaan di negara ini.Setiausaha Agung Kongres Kesatuan Sekerja Malaysia (MTUC), Kamarul Baharin Mansor berkata, pendekatan dan kaedah Kementerian Sumber Manusia (KESUMA) dalam tempoh dua tahun lalu disifatkan telah mengecewakan para pekerja, khususnya kesatuan sekerja.Menurut beliau, beberapa dasar yang dilaksanakan sebelum ini didakwa tidak mengambil kira semangat perbincangan tiga pihak atau tripartite, sekali gus memaksa MTUC membuat aduan kepada Pertubuhan Buruh Antarabangsa (ILO)."Akibat tindakan tersebut, Malaysia telah dihadapkan ke Jawatankuasa ILO Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations (CEACR) berhubung tingkah laku Kementerian Sumber Manusia," ujarnya dalam satu kenyataan pada Rabu.Kamarul Baharin turut mengaitkan tekanan yang dihadapi pekerja dengan tindakan Kesatuan NUBE yang mewakili pekerja bank, apabila terpaksa mengadakan piket secara berulang kali bagi menzahirkan ketidakpuasan hati terhadap Menteri Sumber Manusia sebelum ini.Jelasnya, situasi itu menggambarkan bahawa pekerja berada dalam keadaan tertekan dan tidak berpuas hati dengan pendekatan kementerian.Beliau menegaskan, MTUC sebagai Pusat Buruh Kebangsaan yang telah menjalankan fungsinya sebagai rakan kepada kerajaan dan Persekutuan Majikan Malaysia (MEF) selama 70 tahun, amat kecewa dengan pendekatan yang dilaksanakan sebelum ini.Sehubungan itu, MTUC meletakkan harapan besar agar Ramanan dapat melaksanakan penetapan semula atau reset terhadap Kementerian Sumber Manusia."Perbincangan tiga pihak antara MTUC, MEF dan kerajaan adalah kunci kepada penyelesaian perbezaan pendapat

SHAH ALAM - The second Cabinet reshuffle of the Madani Government announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Tuesday carries deeper political significance beyond merely filling four vacant ministerial positions, as the unity government enters a critical adjustment phase with less than two years remaining in its term.The reshuffle, which involved 28 ministerial and deputy ministerial posts, was seen as a calculated move to strengthen administrative stability while managing mounting internal and external political pressures.Anwars decision to elevate six deputy ministers to full ministerial roles, including one new face, reflected an effort to reinforce the Cabinet with figures regarded as having been "battle-tested."Nevertheless, analysts believed the exercise was shaped by more subtle political considerations.The inability of national parties, particularly DAP, to gain stronger support among Sabah voters during the recent state election, coupled with growing dissatisfaction within the Chinese community towards the Pakatan Harapan government and several of its ministers, was believed to have directly influenced the scale of the reshuffle.This pressure was compounded by aggressive demands from DAP leaders for faster administrative reforms, alongside persistent criticism from former PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli.Questions have also arisen following the removal of Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa as Minister in the Prime Ministers Department (Federal Territories) and Datuk Dr Mohd Naim Mokhtar as Minister in the Prime Ministers Department (Religious Affairs), prompting debate over the governments evolving priorities and the political discipline it seeks to enforce.Ilham Centre executive director Hisommudin Bakar said the appointment of Hannah Yeoh as Federal Territories Minister could either consolidate DAPs strength in its traditional urban strongholds or provoke backlash from the Malay community against Anwar.He said Hannahs appointment as the first non-Malay to helm a sensitive and controversial ministry carried significant political implications, particularly in relation to DAPs demands for reforms in local governance.The removal of Dr Zaliha and the transfer of Hannah Yeohs portfolio from the Youth and Sports Ministry to Federal Territories creates the perception that DAP now has the upper hand to realise their agenda at the urban level.This appointment can be seen as Anwars response to ease DAPs pressure demanding reforms to be completed within six months.However, with only about a year and a half left in the administration, this move risks triggering polemics and resistance from the right-wing segment, especially the Malays, he told Sinar.Hisommudin stressed that any reform initiatives, including the implementation of local authority elections, must be approached cautiously.He warned that prolonged controversy over what he described as DAPs radical demands, including the Urban Renewal Bill, could weaken Malay voter support in an already fragile political environment.On religious affairs, he said the replacement of Mohd Naim with Dr Zulkifli Hasan reflected the need for stronger political handling of sensitive issues.Mohd Naim is seen as lacking political elements, while Zulkifli, with his background in Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM), has the network and ability to manage pressure and misunderstandings on religious issues more effectively, he said, acknowledging the controversy surrounding the Federal Territories Mufti Bill as a possible contributing factor.The appointment of Datuk Mustapha Sakmud as Minister in the Prime Ministers Department for Sabah and Sarawak Affairs was described as an expected move to ensure continued Sabah representation in the Cabinet.Likewise, the elevation of Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani as Investment, Trade and Industry Minister and the appointment of Umno women chief Datuk Seri Dr Noraini Ahmad as Plantation and Commodities Minister were anticipated.However, Hisommudin cautioned that Mustapha faces a significant challenge in maintaining the relevance of national parties in Sabah ahead of the 16th General Election, particularly amid the strengthening "Sabah for Sabahan" sentiment.Meanwhile, former PKR information coordination secretary Iswardy Morni said the large-scale reshuffle was timely, given the Madani Governments current trust deficit among the public, including within its own support base.He viewed the change in the religious affairs portfolio as necessary to prevent Islamic affairs from being influenced by intellectual factions that could divide the ummah, while attributing Dr Zalihas removal to pressure from urban traders dissatisfied with her performance.Regarding the appointment of ministers from DAP, I see it as a step to ease the partys pressure on Anwar, especially following business taxation issues that are weighing on the Chinese community, he said.Iswardy added that the appointments of Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir and Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh, both seen as aligned with Rafizi, were intended to temper criticism from the former PKR deputy president.Nevertheless, he expected Rafizis criticisms to persist, particularly with several underperforming ministers retained and the appointment of Datuk Seri R. Ramanan as Human Resources Minister.

PKR veep now helms the Human Resources Ministry.

KUALA LUMPUR Datuk Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir emerged today as one of the biggest winners in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahims long-anticipated Cabinet reshuffle, taking charge of the powerful Economy Ministry and cementing his place among the ruling coalitions next generation of leaders.Akmal, 39, the Johor Bahru MP and a former PKR Youth Chief, is widely regarded as one of the most technocratic figures in the party.Trained in actuarial science and economics at the University of WisconsinMadison, he previously served in two deputy ministerial roles at Local Government Development and later at Energy Transition and Water Transformation.Before entering frontline politics, Akmal co-founded the National Oversight and Whistleblowers Centre (NOW) with Rafizi Ramli, positioning himself early as part of the reformist movement pushing for financial transparency and public accountability.His new appointment is seen as a natural progression for a leader whose political identity is rooted in oversight, data-driven policy and financial governance.In a sign of cross-coalition cooperation, Anwar also appointed Umnos Datuk Mohd Shahar Abdullah as Deputy Economy Minister, making the ministry one of the youngest and most diverse leadership teams in the government.Akmals elevation comes as Malaysia navigates global economic headwinds, supply chain realignments and pressures on domestic cost of living, conditions that will test his policymaking agility and reform credentials.Within minutes of the announcement, Akmals Facebook page was flooded with congratulatory messages, with supporters hailing his elevation to a full ministerial post as long overdue and reflecting growing confidence in younger leadership within the unity government.The Cabinet reshuffle, announced live at 3.30pm today, also saw several other key updates.Among them:Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani takes over as Investment, Trade and Industry Minister.Hannah Yeoh moves to the Prime Ministers Department to oversee federal territories, with Sungai Petani MP Taufiq Johari replacing her as Youth and Sports Minister.Yeohs former deputy, Adam Adli, now serves as Deputy Minister of Higher Education.Datuk Seri Arthur Joseph Kurup becomes Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability, joined by PKRs Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh as deputy.Steven Sim shifts to the Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Ministry, while Datuk Seri R. Ramanan takes the Human Resources portfolio.Anwar said the reshuffle is aimed at strengthening governance and improving policy implementation for the well-being of the people and the country.All newly appointed ministers and deputies will be sworn in tomorrow, marking the start of a new legislative and policy phase for the unity government, with Akmal Nasir now positioned at its economic core.

However, he did not rule out Johari being appointed as Economy Minister instead.This is because I see that projection as logical if Umnos strategy and that of its president, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, are taken into account, with Anwar perhaps considering a more pragmatic candidate for the Miti ministerial post.I think Anwar will continue retaining Tengku Zafruls role in shaping Mitis direction even though the former Umno Supreme Council member is no longer a minister.Therefore, I see Johari as more practical for Anwar to appoint as the economy minister, with the Miti portfolio possibly given to an economist, technocrat or academic figure close to him, he said.PKR vice-president Datuk Seri R. Ramanan was widely viewed as the near-certain pick to lead the Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Ministry, given his three years experience as deputy minister and increasing calls for Indian representation in the Cabinet.Former Penang Barisan Nasional (BN) executive secretary Azizi Safar, however, expressed scepticism over the possibility of former health minister Khairy Jamaluddin or PKR deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar being appointed."The appointment of KJ (Khairy) would certainly face strong resistance from Umno leaders, while Nurul Izzah is expected to remain uncomfortable with ongoing claims of nepotism given that her father is the Prime Minister," he said.Hisomuddin said he saw Khairys potential differently, suggesting that bringing him into the Cabinet could help Anwar win support from young and undecided voters ahead of GE16, especially since Khairys path back to Umno appeared nearly shut.Both analysts also dismissed speculation that Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek and Saifuddin would be removed.With the Madani Governments Cabinet only having one and a half years left before GE16, I think Anwar will not take such a big risk by reshuffling critical ministerial portfolios.For that reason, Fadhlina, Saifuddin and Zambry are expected to remain leading their respective ministries, Hisomuddin said.Meanwhile, Azizi added that another woman minister may be appointed to fill vacancies in either the Natural Resources Ministry or the Plantation and Commodities Ministry should Johari assume a new role.Umno women chief Datuk Seri Dr Noraini Ahmad was among the names believed to be under consideration.He said Anwar may also appoint another minister from Sabah to fill Ewons vacancy."My projection is that names such as Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapha Sakmud of PKR or Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan and Ranau MP Datuk Jonathan Yasin, both from Gabungan Rakyat Sabah, will be considered," he said.According to Hisomuddin, several other leaders were also on the radar, including Deputy Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah, PKR Youth chief Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim, Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin and Deputy Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Chan Foong Hin.Position of Madani Government seats by party composition:PKR 8 seats (2 now vacant)BN 6 seats (1 vacant)DAP 4 seatsGabungan Parti Sarawak 5 seatsSabah quota (GRS/PH) 2 seats (one vacated by the Upko representative)Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) 2 seatsTechnocrat/Expert roles 2 seats (Minister in the Prime Ministers department (Religious Affairs) & Second Finance Minister)

PETALING JAYA: Several names are being floated ahead of a possible Cabinet reshuffle following the Prime Ministers recent announcement.Among these are Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, PKR vice-president Datuk Seri R. Ramanan and former Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.Talks are that Johari, who has a banking background and was Finance Minister II in previous administrations, would assume the post of Investment, Trade and Industry left vacant by Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.Another possibility is the post of Economy Minister, previously held by Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli before he resigned.Johari, who is Titiwangsa MP from Umno, is also carrying out the duties and functions of the Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister following the resignation of Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.Other names on the cards are PKR deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar and Selangor Menteri Besar and PKR vice-president Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari - although analysts say these two are unlikely.Amirudin has also previously said that he would like to serve out his tenure as Mentri Besar.Also floated are Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki and Datuk Seri Reezal Naina Merican.On Monday (Dec 1), Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim hinted that a major Cabinet reshuffle is not on the cards, with only current vacancies set to be filled.The four vacancies include that of Datuk Ewon Benedick, who resigned as entrepreneur development and cooperatives minister earlier this month.On Tuesday (Dec 2), Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar announced that the duties would be taken over by Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi following Ewons resignation
