RESIGNATION AS CABINET MINISTER
I have today submitted my resignation as Malaysia’s Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES) to Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, effective 4 July 2025. I will be on leave from tomorrow until 3 July 2025.
Since my appointment to the Cabinet, first as Minister of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change (December 2022—December 2023), and then as Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (December 2023—July 2025), I have worked tirelessly with my Deputy Minister and dedicated civil servants to implement much-needed reforms.
These include; but are not limited to, amending the Environmental Quality Act 1974 [Act 127] – Phase 1 and making Environmental Impact Assessment reports more transparent. Malaysia
became one of the earliest countries to submit our National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plan (NBSAP) – to halt the destruction of our nature. UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres had also praised the massive reduction in our deforestation.
Within weeks in office, we also implemented subsidy retargeting for electricity under the Imbalance Cost Pass-Through (ICPT) Mechanism in Peninsular Malaysia. We likewise passed the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act at the Dewan Rakyat. In the water sector, we managed to establish the much-needed Tariff Setting Mechanism.
Although starting from scratch, the National Climate Change Bill (RUUPIN) is now in the final
stages of being tabled to Cabinet and Parliament.
However, I recognise that my-then position as Vice President of KEADILAN was a key
consideration in my Cabinet appointment.
As I have failed to defend my party post during its recent elections, I have decided to resign as a Minister.
I would like to thank the capable civil servants, the excellent team at my office, and all public, private, and civil society stakeholders who have taught me so much and enabled us to implement significant changes during this period.
We tried our best to take an open, consultative approach with all in introducing laws and designing policies.
I look forward to returning to my position on the backbenches of Parliament, as well as focusing
on my constituency work in Setiawangsa.
To paraphrase the late British MP Tony Benn, “I am leaving Cabinet to devote more time to politics and the public service”.
