Najib’s 2013 Cabinet comprises 29 Ministers with 25 Ministries. After 2018 GE14, Mahathir announced a 12 member Cabinet, with 11 Ministries..
A major reshuffle of Malaysian Cabinet is timely.
Mainly to
1. eliminate
confusion of responsibility,
2. merging of
related portfolios into a single ministry,
3. restructuring of
government agencies,
4. to simply the
Ministry’s name,
5. to promote good
governance, and finally
6. to reduce
government expenses.
Ongzi’s Cabinet will have 13 Ministries.
1. Prime Minister’s
Department
2. Ministry of
Finance
3. Ministry of
Agriculture
4. Ministry of
Education
5. Ministry of
Transport
6. Ministry of
Health
7. Ministry of
Commerce
8. Ministry of Home
Affair
9. Ministry of Foreign
Affair
10. Ministry of
Public Works
11. Ministry of
Natural Resources
12. Ministry of
Sports & Culture
13. Ministry of Labour
The Defence portfolio shall fall within the jurisdiction and power of Armed Forces Council ( Federal Constitution Article 137 )
Most importantly, considering
the tria politica principle, in the
pursuance of good governance, we must have a clear separation of
powers between legislature, executive and judiciary. This can only be done via amending the Malaysia’s
Federal Constitution Article 43(2)(b).
A member of Cabinet
MUST not be a people’s representative from either Houses of Parliament, except
for Prime Minister. All the Ministers
are appointed, with the approval of the Parliament, based on their capacity and integrity, irrespective of their
political affiliation.
