KUALA LUMPUR: A swearing-in ceremony of Federal Ministers is scheduled to be held at Istana Negara at 2.30 pm tomorrow.

According to sources, apart from taking the oath of office, loyalty and secrecy, the new members of the Cabinet will also be awarded their respective letters of appointment during the ceremony.

On Dec 1, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim hinted that there would be a Cabinet reshuffle this month.
