Najib Razak formed the first Najib cabinet after being invited by Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin to begin a new government following the resignation of the previous Prime Minister of Malaysia, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Prior to the resignation, Abdullah led (as Prime Minister) the third Abdullah cabinet, a coalition government that consisted of members of the component parties of Barisan Nasional.
Najib announced his inaugural Cabinet on 9 April 2009.[1] Former Malaysia Airlines chief executive officer and managing director Idris Jala was added to the line-up on 28 August 2009.[2]
Najib streamlined the Cabinet to 28 members from 32 in the previous Abdullah Ahmad Badawi administration. His new line-up came under criticism from previous Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir.[3]
