Shadow Cabinet of Malaysia

This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
Malaysia

A Shadow Cabinet is a common feature in mature parliamentary democracies. It exists because, in theory, a government can easily collapse by losing the confidence of Parliament. So, if any new government is to be installed immediately without having fresh polls, it is only responsible of and reasonable for any party intending to replace the existing government to prepare its lineup.

Prior to 2 July 2009, the building of a Shadow Cabinet has never happened in Malaysia at the Federal level.
