00:00 Well, if you look at it, it's not true to say that we are the biggest winner.
00:04 In terms of net increase, it's only a net increase of one ministership.
00:11 Same goes to UMNO. UMNO also increased one, Dr Srijoh Harikani.
00:16 So there's a net increase of one.
00:18 But a lot of these appointments, new appointments, reshuffles, involving DAP,
00:26 of course because there was one additional and then there was one removed.
00:31 So two removed, one minister and one deputy minister were not in the list.
00:36 So that's why there are a number of new faces in the line-up.
00:41 So in terms of net increase, it's only one additional ministerial post,
00:46 which same goes to UMNO as well.
00:48 Of course, UMNO also among the three ministers, they swapped their portfolios.
00:53 So it is not true to say that DAP is the biggest winner in this cabinet reshuffle.
