Cabinet of Sarawak


The Cabinet of Sarawak is a part of the executive arm of the Government of Sarawak, Malaysia. The Cabinet consists of the Chief Minister, appointed by the Governor on the basis that he is able to command a majority in the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly, and a number of ministers made up of members of the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly.
This Cabinet is similar in structure and role to that of federal level, while being smaller in size. As federal and state responsibilities differ, there are a number of portfolios that differ between the federal and state governments.
Members of the Cabinet are selected by the Chief Minister, and appointed by the Governor. Cabinet Ministers are always the head of a ministry.
