COMMENT | Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim now stands at a crossroads. His coalition government includes former cabinet members who were complicit in the convicted felon, Najib Abdul Razak’s 1MDB abuses.

These are not mere individuals; they are structural enablers whose presence undermines the credibility of governance.

With the High Court ruling that Najib is guilty on all four counts of abuse of power and all 21 money laundering charges linked to the 1MDB scandal, will Anwar clean house?

According to the latest official cabinet list announced this December, Anwar's coalition government includes:

Ahmad Zahid Hamidi: Deputy prime minister I, a senior Umno-Baru leader and coalition partner.

Fadillah Yusof: Deputy prime minister II, another senior coalition figure.

Azalina Othman Said: Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform).

Zambry Abd Kadir: Higher education minister.

Noraini Ahmad: Plantation and commodities minister.

Johari Abdul Ghani: Investment, trade and industry minister.
