KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 — Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has pledged today to appoint a Cabinet made of those who are clean, of integrity and with calibre, amid concerns that Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders facing graft charges will be included.

The newly-appointed prime minister said he will focus on efforts to increase the integrity and good governance in Putrajaya.

“I am aware that what the people want is a government that is clean, with integrity and free of corruption,” he said in his first address to the nation following his swearing-in.

“For a start, I promise to elect the members of Cabinet from those who are clean, with integrity and with calibre.”
