KUALA LUMPUR – The process of going through the shortlist of names to be appointed deputy ministers is ongoing this week, and likely to be finalised soon.

Economic Minister Rafizi Ramli said that the swearing-in ceremony could take place in a week or two and the process is similar to picking cabinet members.

He added that each party leader in the unity government has to propose their candidates but the number of deputy ministers appointed from each party will depend on how many MPs they have.

In a press conference in Putrajaya today, Rafizi said the prime minister will see who among the proposed candidates – taking into consideration their expertise and qualifications – are suited for which portfolio.

“After the prime minister has taken these into consideration, he will present the names to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to seek his consent.”
