KUALA LUMPUR – Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali will continue to hold the post for another two years, the Prime Minister’s Office announced today. 

It said that the reappointment on a contract basis was approved by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and the Public Services Commission. 

Zuki’s next term begins today and ends on August 10, 2024.

He had first been appointed to the position on December 31, 2019.
