Prime Minister Najib Razak has told people that it is time to move forward from the cabinet reshuffle as there are more important things to focus on.

"We must address the people’s wants, as they are just concerned about food on their table," he said in his speech at the monthly gathering of the Prime Minister’s Office staff in Putrajaya today.

Najib said he trusted in his new Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's abilities.

"I believe in his capabilities to help me and the cabinet to carry out our heavy duties and together we will make a great team.

"We must handle our responsibilities to carry out these duties and meet the aspirations of the people," he said.

The new DPM officially clocked in at 8.45am today.
