Shadow Cabinet of Malaysia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Like several other countries utilizing the parliamentary system, Malaysia employs the use of shadow cabinets to hold the government to account, and to serve as a potential alternate government-in-waiting. However, the shadow cabinet is not officially recognised by the government.[1]

Hamzah Shadow Cabinet (2022–present)

[edit]

On 2 February 2023, Leader of the Opposition Hamzah Zainudin unveiled his shadow cabinet of the Members of Parliament (MPs) of Perikatan Nasional (PN).[2] However, Hamzah later clarified that list is a 'portfolio committee' instead of a shadow cabinet.[3]

The committee or shadow cabinet was criticised for its lack of inclusivity as the list is dominated by a single race.[4]
