A new Cabinet was announced by Najib on 15 May 2013.[2] It was the 19th cabinet of Malaysia formed since independence. The ministers and deputy ministers were then sworn in before Yang di-Pertuan Agong 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]
