One hurdle after another for the new government was when the PM Ismail Sabri Yaakob was unable to attend the swearing-in ceremony of his Cabinet members at Istana Negara.
He was undergoing self-quarantine after confirming close contact with Covid-19 patients.
The Prime Minister’s Office in a statement said despite not being able to attend the ceremony. Ismail, however, will participate virtually in the National Day 2021 celebration tomorrow.
The ceremony took place at Dataran Pahlawan Negara in Putrajaya.
