A NEW CABINET OF MALAYSIA

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, PM of Malaysia

YAB Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, has announced a new cabinet line up which consists of 28 ministers and 40 deputy ministers.In describing his new cabinet, he said, "They reflect the strength and diversity of the BN coalition which is representative of all Malaysians and all parts of our country… One Malaysia."

Najib is implementig a new approach towards a transparent and accountable government by introducing a new paradigm for performance and delivering results, through rigorous use of Key Performance Indicators.

The Prime Minister has also streamlined the government by reducing the number of Ministries from 27 to 25. Two Ministries have been disbanded, and their functions absorbed by others.

A new Council of Economic Advisors will be appointed to assist the new cabinet in navigating Malaysia through these turbulent economic times and building the foundations for an innovation economy.

The new Cabinet is indeed a reflection of the slogan “One Malaysia. People First. Performance Now” adopted by Najib’s government.

Congratulation to PM, TPM, Ministers and Deputy Ministers. Lets not forget PM's advice:

"To my Ministers: The people expect us to work tirelessly on their behalf; to listen and learn from them; to never rest in our commitment to One Malaysia. We must never let them down. We have the privilege of serving our nation; we must meet that honour with the utmost dedication and humility."

And to all Malaysians, let us take up the challenge made by our PM: "And to the people of Malaysia: let me challenge you…in particular our young people…to become part of our nation's renewal. "
