Deputy Ministers

The 13 new ministers bring to 26 the total number of Cabinet members – the first batch of 13 was sworn-in on May 21.

Darell Leiking, MP for Penampang, Sabah

Darell Leiking, used the occasion to showcase the Siga, the traditional and distinctive headgear of the KadazanDusun.

Leiking is the MP for Penampang, Sabah a hub of KadazanDusun culture. He is also the deputy president of Parti Warisan Sabah.

Gobind Singh Deo and M. Kula who took their oath in May

His headgear is the fourth after songkok, Gobind's turban and M.Kula’s Tamil thallapa. Any more?

Another refreshing change are these beautiful faces of MP's for Seputeh, Kulai, Segambut and Bakri all eloquent in BM and qualified too.
