Revision as of 07:27, 2 December 2021

Senior Minister of Malaysia (Malay: Menteri Kanan Malaysia; Jawi: منتري کانن مليسيا) is the second highest level of political office^{[note 2]} in Malaysia. There have been 5 officeholders since the office was created in 2020. The 8th Prime Minister of Malaysia, Muhyiddin Yassin, started the convention of appointing senior ministers into his cabinet. It has been maintained in the Ismail Sabri cabinet.^[1]

Appointment and power

The cabinet formed under former Prime Minister Muhyiddin in 2020, following the 2020-2021 Malaysian political crisis, was unique as there were no Members of Parliament (MPs) appointed to the post of the Deputy Prime Minister in his current cabinet.^{[note 3]} Instead, he appointed four senior ministers.^[2]^[3]

These senior ministers will assist the prime minister in carrying out his duties as prime minister including chairing cabinet meetings during his absence. Although the four senior ministers were of equal standings, Azmin Ali was designated by the prime minister to preside over the cabinet's meeting in his absence.^[4]

These positions were dissolved following the resignation of the cabinet after they had handed in their resignation to the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong on the 16th of August 2021.^[2]^[3]

Composition

The current four Senior Ministers are:
1. Minister of International Trade and Industry (MITI) – International Trade and Industry Sector
2. Minister of Defence (MINDEF) – Defence Sector
3. Minister of Works (KKR) – Works Sector
4. Minister of Education (MOE) – Education Sector^[5]
