Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has left the Pahang royal palace after presenting his proposed cabinet line-up to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
According to Bernama, the prime minister met the king for two hours before leaving the palace.
Ismail Sabri was accompanied to the meeting by Pahang Menteri Besar Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail.
The palace, in a Facebook post later, confirmed that the king had received the cabinet list.
However, no date was announced when the cabinet would be sworn in.
Earlier, The Star reported that the cabinet line-up was supposed to have been presented yesterday but was postponed to today as the ruler was not in Kuala Lumpur.
The report added that the premier was asked to assemble his government before Merdeka Day (Aug 31).
After the line-up is submitted to the Agong, the next step will be to swear in the new ministers which can take place as soon as tomorrow.
Earlier, Wan Rosdy received Ismail Sabri at the Royal Malaysian Air Force base in Kuantan.
