Ismail Sabri said each ministry must prove its performance within the first 100 days.
He has also left the deputy premiership post empty, taking a leaf out of predecessor Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's book.
The previous Perikatan Nasional administration had 32 ministers.
On the deputy prime minister post not being filled for now, sources said that Ismail Sabri need not fill the post immediately, pointing out that he was made No.
The prime minister, in his televised speech announcing the line-up, said he would ensure that this Cabinet emphasizes a high-performance work culture.
