‘New role’ for Tengku Zafrul after senatorship ends on Dec 2
Fahmi Fadzil says the prime minister has stated that outgoing investment, trade and industry minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz will still help him and the government in the future.
The prime minister thanked investment, trade and industry minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz for his exemplary service at the Cabinet meeting today, said government spokesman Fahmi Fadzil.
PETALING JAYA: Outgoing investment, trade and industry minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz will still play a role in the government after his two-term senatorship ends on Dec 2, says unity government spokesman Fahmi Fadzil.
Fahmi said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had thanked Tengku Zafrul at the Cabinet meeting today for his exemplary service and successes in attracting investment, facilitating trade negotiations, and more.
“The prime minister said Tengku Zafrul, whose second Senate term will end early next week, will still help him and his government in the future, perhaps under a new role.
“However, the new role was not mentioned. We will wait till the time comes,” he said at his weekly post-Cabinet press conference.
On Nov 13, Tengku Zafrul offered to assist his successor upon the expiration of his senatorship, saying he had informed Anwar of his availability to help and was awaiting a decision on the ministry’s future leadership.
Tengku Zafrul’s senatorship began in December 2020 and was renewed last year. This means that he cannot remain in the Cabinet unless he is elected as an MP in a future election.
