Asked if these were too much work for him, he said he had many capable assistant ministers to assist him.

The line-up indicated that the Chief Minister is seen to continue what had been done under the late Adenan Cabinet.

Abang Johari said basically there was not much change from the previous cabinet line-up, and pointed out that only the Ministry of Finance had additional portfolios added to it, as it is now known as Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning.

Previously it was only known as Ministry of Finance. -- BERNAMA
