KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today three more ministers will be appointed to bring the number of Cabinet ministers to 29.

The three ministers could only be appointed after the individuals had been sworn in as senators, he said, indicating that they might not be politicians but professionals.


“We will have (a total of) 29 ministers. We have 26 now, there are three more to go,” he said when approached by reporters after the swearing in of 13 more ministers and 23 deputy ministers before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Muhammad V, at Istana Negara today (July 2).

Thirteen ministers, led by Deputy Prime Minister and Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail had been sworn in last month



Dr Mahathir said he would have a meeting with the ministers and deputy ministers who were sworn in today to explain to them their roles and responsibilities.

Asked about the appointment of the new Chief Justice to succeed Tun Md Raus Sharif, the Prime Minister said an announcement would be made after Md Raus completes his service at the end of this month.

The government has a candidate but the announcement could not be made right now, he said.

“He (Md Raus) is on leave now. He will go on optional retirement at the end of this month. Then we can announce his successor,” he said. -Bernama

PETALING JAYA: The Pakatan Harapan Cabinet and their deputy ministers have been sworn in, but some portfolios have yet to be filled.

The Cabinet line-up announced on Monday (July 2) is still missing a minister and three deputy ministers.


Sources said these could be positions reserved for those who will be appointed as senators.

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia's Dr Md Farid Md Rafik is the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of Unity and Social Harmony but there is no minister for that portfolio.


There is also no deputy minister for the Foreign Affairs Ministry, where PKR's Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah is the Minister.

Also missing from the list is the Deputy Minister for Housing and Local Government, where PKR’s Zuraida Kamaruddin is Minister.
