Second Tunku Abdul Rahman Ministry
- Second Tunku Abdul Rahman Ministry
The Second Tunku Abdul Rahman Ministry was formed following the general elections victory of the Alliance Party led by Tunku Abdul Rahman. The ministry was sworn in on August 22 1959 and Tunku Abdul Rahman assumed the office of Prime Minister from Abdul Razak Hussein who was the Acting Prime Minister after Rahman took a three month leave of office to campaign for the elections.
All federal ministers from the First Tunku Abdul Rahman Ministry were retained with the exception of H.S. Lee who did not contest the 1959 elections and Mohd Khir Johari who was contesting in the constituency of Kedah Tengah, where elections had been postponed to September 30 1959 [Arkib Negara: [http://hids.arkib.gov.my/doc/jilidiii/ogos/23%5F08%5F1959%5F1980.htm Pembentukan Kabinet yang Pertama Selepas Merdeka] ] .
The composition of the ministry is as follows:
Abdul Aziz Ishak left the Cabinet in 1963 after disagreements with Tunku Abdul Rahman on strategies for rural development and he eventually went on to form the short lived National Convention Party that joined the left wing Malayan People's Socialist Front to contest the 1964 general elections [ Weiss, Meredith Leigh: "Protest and Possibilities: Civil Society and Coalitions for Political Change in Malaysia", Palo Alto: Stanford University Press, 2005, ISBN 0804752958] .
