Malaysia's prime minister has unveiled a much leaner cabinet after dropping veteran politicians and appointing new faces following unprecedented losses in the March 8 general elections.Abdullah Ahmad Badawi picked new faces to replace more than half of his old ministers in a move welcomed by analysts as an attempt to provide a better administration after the ruling coalition's election debacle.
Abdullah downsized the cabinet, which had been criticised as unwieldy and wasteful, from 90 to 69 positions after dropping the roll call of parliamentary secretaries.
