Shadow Cabinet of Hamzah Zainudin

On 2 February 2023, Leader of the Opposition Hamzah Zainudin unveiled his shadow cabinet of the Members of Parliament (MPs) of Perikatan Nasional (PN).[1] However, Hamzah later clarified that list is a 'portfolio committee' instead of a shadow cabinet.[2]

Hamzah Zainudin, Leader of the Opposition
Muhyiddin Yassin, Leader of Perikatan Nasional
Abdul Hadi Awang, Deputy Leader of Perikatan Nasional
Takiyuddin Hassan, Chief Whip of Perikatan Nasional and Shadow Minister of Home Affairs

The committee or shadow cabinet was criticised for its lack of inclusivity as the list is dominated by a single race.[3]

However, on 8 February 2024, Hamzah announced to do some cabinet reshuffle and add on a few portfolio, including economy, digital, energy transition and water transformation, higher education and federal territories.[4][5]
