The Anwar Ibrahim cabinet is the current federal cabinet of Malaysia, formed on 3 December 2022, [1] nine days after Anwar Ibrahim took office as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia. The composition of the cabinet was announced by Anwar a day earlier on 2 December 2022, consisting of most of the political coalitions and parties represented in the 15th Parliament. [2] It was the 23rd cabinet of Malaysia formed since independence. Although Perikatan Nasional (PN) was also invited to join the government, it decided to decline the invitation and instead formed the opposition. The government is often referred to as "unity government" (Malay: Kerajaan Perpaduan) or informally, Madani government (Malay: Kerajaan Madani ).

Unity Government Secretariat

The Unity Government formed a secretariat to coordinate the activities of its component coalitions and parties in February 2023. Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Barisan Nasional (BN) and President of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) Ahmad Zahid Hamidi added that the inaugural meeting of the secretariat would pay attention to finding common ground between the manifestos of its different components and strengthening the government. [6] The inaugural secretariat meeting was held at the headquarters of UMNO and attended by Prime Minister, Chairman of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) and President of the People's Justice Party (PKR) Anwar Ibrahim, Minister of Transport, Deputy President of PH and Secretary-General of the Democratic Action Party (DAP) Anthony Loke Siew Fook and among others. This marked the first time Anwar had revisited the headquarters of UMNO in over 20 years after his sacking from UMNO and removal from government positions in September 1998 that sparked the Reformasi movement and the first time a DAP leader had visited the headquarters of UMNO. [7] Anwar subsequently announced the formation of three secretariat committees namely the elections committee, the strategy committee and the government and political agenda monitoring committee.
