KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 15 (Bernama) -- Political pundits working overtime on their guesswork and wild speculation sent the media on a wild goose chase today when they tweeted and blogged on an impending Cabinet reshuffle today.
Bernama was bombarded with enquiries after the rumours circulated on some tweets and SMSes.
One news portal even went so far as saying that two deputy ministers would be elevated to ministers while the head of a political party would be made a minister as well. It even said that a statement was expected to be issued.
One tv news crew even went to the Prime Minister's Department in Putrajaya to stake out the impending announcement.
An aide to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, when contacted at about 6pm today, said his boss did not indicate anything about a Cabinet reshuffle after an interview with a Turkish news organisation late this afternoon.
And an MCA Cabinet minister, when contacted, said the matter was also not mentioned at today's Cabinet meeting.
