KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 15 2025 – Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail today presented appointment letters to 17 Backbenchers from the Unity Government, officially designating them as “Friends of Ministry” (FOM) for the Home Ministry.
In a statement, Saifuddin congratulated the appointed Members of Parliament: Bera, Ledang, Kepong, Labis, Paya Besar, Sibu, Kota Melaka, Jelutong, Subang, Batu, Pekan, Sri Aman, Baram, Lawas, Lubok Antu, Hulu Langat, and Ranau.
The FOM initiative, introduced by the MADANI Government, serves as a strategic platform to position MPs as a two-way communication bridge between the ministry and the public, both at the grassroots level and in Parliament.
These MPs will act as strategic partners, not only relaying information but also actively engaging with communities to gather vital feedback for the ministry to refine and improve policies.
Saifuddin expressed hope that the FOM platform would foster systematic and focused engagement, strengthening parliamentary debates while ensuring policies reflect the realities, voices, and aspirations of the people.
