Malaysia's new Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced his cabinet lineup on Friday.

He said he would also serve as the country's finance minister, retaking a cabinet role he first held 30 years ago.

Anwar, a former deputy prime minister, took the oath of office to become Malaysia's new prime minister in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur last week.

In the election, his bloc did not win a simple majority but he formed a coalition government with the help of other political blocs.
