Najib Razak formed the second Najib cabinet after being invited by Tuanku Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah to begin a new government following the 5 May 2013 general election in Malaysia. In order to be the Prime Minister, Najib sworn in before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on 6 May 2013.[1] Prior to the election, Najib led (as Prime Minister) the first Najib cabinet, a coalition government that consisted of members of the component parties of Barisan Nasional.
A new Cabinet was announced by Prime Minister Mohd. Najib Abdul Razak on 15 May 2013.[2] The ministers and deputy ministers were then sworn in before King Abdul Halim on the following day.[3][4] Notably, the two main ethnic Chinese-majority parties in Barisan Nasional, the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) and Gerakan declined to join the cabinet due to their dismal performance in the election.[5]
On 25 June 2014, Prime Minister Najib Razak announced a cabinet reshuffle, which saw the return of the MCA and Gerakan to the cabinet.[6]
