Education Minister Mohd Radzi Md Jidin's tenure as a senator has been extended until 2024, which will allow him to continue serving in the cabinet.
Radzi, who was made the education minister through his appointment as a senator, was to see his three-year tenure expire on July 16.
According to Parliament's website, Radzi will be reappointed as a senator for another three-year term.
The reappointment will take effect on July 17 and will last until July 16, 2024.
Radzi, a Bersatu vice-president, contested in the Keterah parliamentary seat in the 2018 general election but was defeated by Umno's Annuar Musa.
He was appointed as a senator on July 16, 2018 and made the deputy economic affairs minister under the Pakatan Harapan government.
He was appointed as a senior minister and education minister under the Perikatan Nasional government, after Bersatu defected, leading to the collapse of the Harapan government.
Prior to joining politics, Radzi was a forensic accounting lecturer at the University of Tasmania in Australia. - Mkini
