PM Anwar Ibrahim names deputy ministers: Ahmad Maslan, Steven Sim to MoF, Hasbi Habibollah to MoT

Following last week’s announcement of key ministers for Malaysia’s 10th prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s cabinet, the deputy minister roles have been announced tonight by Anwar, who is also the finance minister.

The announcement comes after the prime minister’s audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah for the presentation of the list of names, with selected ministries to receive two deputy ministers.

Key departments that help shape and define the automotive and mobility industries include the ministry of transport (MOT), ministry of international trade and industry (MITI), works ministry (KKR), ministry of finance (MOF), and in this age of electric vehicles, the ministry of environment and water (KASA).

The following is the list of deputy ministers for the cabinet, in key ministries related to the local automotive landscape:

  • Deputy transport minister – Datuk Hasbi Habibollah
  • Deputy minister of international trade and industry – Liew Chin Tong
  • Deputy works minister – Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad
  • Deputy finance minister – Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan and Steven Sim Chee Keong
  • Deputy economy minister – Datuk Hanifah Hajar Taib
  • Deputy natural resources, nature, climate change minister – Datuk Seri Hwang Tiong Si
  • Deputy domestic trade and cost of living minister – Fuziah Salleh

The transport ministry determines aspects such as driving licenses, public transport, and road rules, while MITI and MoF determine how vehicles are priced in Malaysia. The works ministry handles public works such as roads and highways, while the ministry of environment and water (KASA) deals with sustainable efforts such as electric vehicles.

To recap, here is the list of key members of the 10th prime minister’s cabinet:

  • Transport minister – Anthony Loke Siew Fook
  • Minister of international trade and industry – Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz
  • Works minister – Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi
  • Finance minister – Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim
  • Economy minister – Rafizi Ramli
  • Natural resources, nature and climate change minister – Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad
  • Domestic trade and cost of living minister – Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub

In terms of returning cabinet members, Ahmad Maslan was previously deputy minister of finance from 2013 to 2015, and also held the role of deputy minister of international trade and industry from 2015 to 2018.

          The best pretender was honestly Najib. He managed to fool too many people into thinking the country had no debt and was on an upward trend, so many dumb people believed him even after he went to jail for stealing billions of dollars.

          Please refer to the facts rather than politicized the issue.
          “The ever-decreasing number of viewers, visitors and number of tourist arrivals since several years ago meant the government would be at a disadvantage, as it has to bear the high costs of organising the event annually.”

            Why not, if PN continues to rule on, economy will decline and Sepang can easily close shop including F1 not going to return forever and MotoGP will also same…PN loves to bankrupt country by lockdown too much during pandemic and also didn’t help the poor but not interested in carrying economy, people, health, tourism and other issues, but just interested for themselves

    Since PM has taken first step to forgo Mercedes S600,Why cant his new menteris forgo those Alphards/Vellfires?
    Are we saying our X70 no class,third world or pure junk?
    Time for our ministers to walk the talk,a unity government will bring much displeasure to His Royal Highness YDPA,for undue wastages.
    Since the pandemic,half of the M40 has become marginal B40 or purely B40.
    Rakyat is appalled that MACC is checking on the 92Billion Rm controversial spending by MooMoo.This is another “1MDB 2.0” size fiasco.
    By the time the “shit” is uncovered,people charged like the merpati,Billions of Rm have evaporated into thin air.
    Even if we bring back bastard Joe Loe,he only has a dozen credit cards after a body search.Once our billions r looted,it is stashed elsewhere for those crooks to spend.

      And which government are you comfort with. Don’t just keep on saying by complaining this and that and never say “Hoi.. Hoi ya hoi… Siapa sokong penyamun”. Why not talk on why PN is not doing anything at all by not caring poor, economy, social, health, tourism and others.
