  • Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis Appointed Second Finance Minister
    19 NOV 2002 Cabinet-Appointment DR JAMALUDDIN JARJIS APPOINTED SECOND FINANCE MINISTER KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 19 (Bernama) -- Rompin Member of Parliament and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) Chairman Datuk Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis has been appointed Second Finance Minister. The Prime Minister's Office said in a statement today that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had consented to the appointment proposed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad. The King also consented to Dr Mahathir's proposal to appoint Datuk Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor as Minister in the Prime Minister's Department and Senator Datuk Zainuddin Maidin as Deputy Information Minister. Prior to this, Tengku Adnan was the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department and Zainuddin was the Information Ministry Parliamentary Secretary. They would receive their letters of appointment from the King after the swearing-in ceremony and pledge of secrecy and loyalty at Istana Negara on Thursday. The statement said the appointments would take effect after their swearing-in. Dr Jamaluddin, 51, a PhD holder in electrical engineering and an entrepreneur in the energy sector, is married to Datin Dr Kalsom Ismail and has four children. He is an Umno supreme council member for the 2000-2003 term and also Rompin Umno division deputy chief. The post of Second Finance Minister was created for the first time in Dr Mahathir's Cabinet in 1998 when former Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed was appointed to the post. After the last general election in Nov 1999, Dr Mahathir, however, did not appoint a Second Finance Minister when Mustapa failed to retain the Jeli parliamentary seat in Kelantan.

  • Dr Mahathir Signs Minutes of His Last Cabinet Meeting
    29 OCT 2003 Dr Mahathir-Minutes/(with pix) DR MAHATHIR SIGNS MINUTES OF HIS LAST CABINET MEETING PUTRAJAYA, Oct 29 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad today signed the minutes of the last Cabinet meeting he chaired before retiring on Friday after being the country's Prime Minister for 22 years. The historic event recorded by dozens of press photographers took place at 12.30pm soon after the 883rd meeting of the Cabinet ended. Dr Mahathir signed the minutes in the presence of Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who will succeed him, and other Cabinet ministers. Defence Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, met by reporters later, said Dr Mahathir had expressed his thanks to all Cabinet members for their support all these years. "He hopes that they would give the same support to Pak Lah," he said. He said Dr Mahathir also reminded the Cabinet members to continue to work together to develop the country. Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein meanwhile said Dr Mahathir enjoyed chairing his last cabinet meeting. At the meeting, he said Abdullah also spoke on behalf of the cabinet members and congratulated Dr Mahathir for all his achievements. "He also said that the Cabinet ministers had pledged to carry on with the nation's mission and objectives set by Dr Mahathir," he said. Second Finance Minister Datuk Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis said the country was indebted to Dr Mahathir for two reasons. First, Dr Mahathir had succeeded in transforming the country's economy from that based on agriculture to manufacturing and industries, and second in rescuing the country from the financial crisis of 1997-98 by using his own-designed financial rescue model.

    19 NOV 2002 Kabinet-Lantik JAMALUDDIN JARJIS DILANTIK MENTERI KEWANGAN II KUALA LUMPUR, 19 Nov (Bernama) -- Anggota Parlimen Rompin dan Pengerusi Tenaga Nasional Berhad, Datuk Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis, dilantik sebagai Menteri Kewangan II. Pejabat Perdana Menteri, dalam satu kenyataan hari ini, berkata Yang di-Pertuan Agong telah berkenan dengan cadangan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad berhubung pelantikan itu. Seri Paduka Baginda juga berkenan dengan cadangan Perdana Menteri untuk melantik Datuk Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor sebagai Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri dan Senator Datuk Zainuddin Maidin sebagai Timbalan Menteri Penerangan. Tengku Adnan sebelum ini adalah Timbalan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri dan Zainuddin adalah Setiausaha Parlimen Kementerian Penerangan. Upacara istiadat Pengurniaan Surat Cara Pelantikan kepada ketiga-tiga mereka dan istiadat Mengangkat Sumpah Jawatan dan Taat Setia serta Sumpah Menyimpan Rahsia akan diadakan di hadapan Seri Paduka Baginda di Istana Negara Khamis ini. Pelantikan ketiga-tiganya berkuatkuasa dari tarikh mereka mengangkat sumpah, kata kenyataan itu. Jamaluddin, 51, seorang doktor falsafah dalam kejuruteraan elektrikal dan usahawan dalam sektor tenaga, berkahwin dengan Datin Dr Kalsom Ismail dan mempunyai empat orang anak. Beliau adalah anggota Majlis Tertinggi Umno bagi penggal 2000-2003 dan Timbalan Ketua Umno bahagian Rompin. Jawatan Menteri Kewangan Kedua diwujudkan buat pertama kali dalam kabinet Dr Mahathir pada 1998 apabila Datuk Mustapa Mohamed dilantik memegang jawatan itu. Selepas pilihan raya 1999, Dr Mahathir bagaimanapun tidak melantik menteri kewangan kedua apabila Mustapa gagal mempertahankan kerusi parlimen Jeli, dan melantik semula Tun Daim Zainuddin sebagai Menteri Kewangan sehingga Jun 2001. Sejak tarikh itu, potfolio Menteri Kewangan dipegang oleh Dr Mahathir yang dibantu oleh dua timbalan menteri terdiri Datuk Dr Shafie Salleh dan Datuk Chan Kong Choy.
