Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz has been appointed as the Senior Political Adviser to the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The announcement was made earlier today in a media statement by the Prime Minister’s Office.

The former Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry will assume the role for a two-year term starting 4 March.

According to the statement, Tengku Zafrul’s appointment was made to fill the vacancy of the senior political secretary which was held by Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin before he tendered his resignation in November last year.

“This appointment is to fill the vacancy of the Senior Political Secretary to the Prime Minister.

“The Prime Minister expresses his hope that Tengku Zafrul will carry out this entrusted responsibility diligently and with humility, for the prosperity of the nation and the wellbeing of the people,” the statement read.
