Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today (27 August) announced Malaysia’s new Cabinet of Ministers under his administration.
The PM received consent from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA) Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah to appoint the Cabinet yesterday.
The new Cabinet is expected to be sworn into duty by the YDPA on Monday.
During his speech today, the PM said that the new Cabinet would be a fast and united one that would work to bring Malaysia out of the current economic, political and public health crisis brought by the Covid-19 crisis.
He said that his administration would progress to maintain the stability, health and safety of ‘keluarga Malaysia’ or the Malaysian family.

Ismail Sabri’s Cabinet stands similar in comparison to the previous one formed by former PM Tan Sri Mahiaddin Md Yasin – 70 Ministers in total.
Mahiaddin’s Cabinet was noted to be the largest one Malaysia has ever had and the first of its kind to have no Deputy Prime Minister.
However, Ismail Sabri was later appointed as the DPM on 21 July while retaining his post as the Defence Minister.
Mahiaddin and his Cabinet effectively resigned on 16 August after just 17 months in power following political turmoil.
