For four states without a monarch, the title Chief Minister (Ketua Menteri; colloquially referred to as KM in Malay or CM in English), is used except for Sarawak where it uses Premier (Premier). The title “Menteri Besar” is usually untranslated in the English media in Malaysia,[1] but is typically translated as ‘Chief Minister’ by foreign media.[2] According to protocol, all Menteris Besar, Chief Ministers and Premier are styled Yang Amat Berhormat (abbreviated YAB), which means “The Most Honourable”.The nine hereditary rulers of the Malay states and the appointed governors of the other four states serve as constitutional and ceremonial heads of their states, while the state executive authority rests with the Menteris Besar, Chief Ministers and Premier. Following elections to the state legislative assembly, the Ruler or Governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the state government. The Ruler or Governor appoints and swears in the Menteri Besar, Chief Ministers and Premier, whose executive council (or Cabinet in Sabah and Sarawak) are collectively responsible to the assembly. Based on the Westminster system, given that he retains the confidence of the assembly, the terms of Menteris Besar, Chief Ministers and Premier can last for the length of the assembly’s life\u2014a maximum of five years. There are no limits to the number of terms that the Menteri Besar, Chief Minister and Premier can serve.

However, Johor was the first state to create the Menteri Besar position, subject to Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri Johor (Johor State Constitution) enforced by Sultan Abu Bakar. This had made Johor the first Malay state to adopt a system of constitutional monarchy. After Malaya gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1957, the office bearer is appointed among the state legislative assembly members by the Sultans. The Menteri Besar, Chief Minister and Premier usually come from the party (or coalition) which commands a majority in the state assembly.Relations between the Menteris Besar, Chief Ministers, Premier and other levels of government[edit]For many decades, the First Ministers (Menteri Besar), Chief Ministers (Ketua Menteri) and Premier (Premier) met with each other and the Prime Minister at Mesyuarat Menteri-Menteri Besar, Ketua-Ketua Menteri dan Premier.[3]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Selection process[edit]Eligibility[edit]By comparison, the thirteen state constitutions (Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri or Perlembagaan Negeri) have some similarities and also some differences in setting the principle qualifications one must meet to be eligible to the office of the Menteri Besar, Chief Minister and Premier.A Menteri Besar or Ketua Menteri or Premier must be a Malaysian citizen, of at least 21 years of age and a member of state legislative assembly who commands the confidence of the majority of the members of the assembly. Upon appointment, he shall not hold any office of profit and engage in any trade, business or profession that will cause conflict of interest.For four states in Malaysia with governors (namely Penang, Malacca, Sabah and Sarawak), the office of Ketua Menteri and Premier are open to any Malaysian citizen regardless of their religion, ethnicity, and gender. However, citizens by naturalization or registration are still prohibited by state laws.Election[edit]The Menteri Besar, Chief Minister and Premier are elected through a majority in the state legislative assembly. This is procedurally established by the vote of confidence in the legislative assembly, as suggested by the Ruler (or Governor) of the state who is the appointing authority.Oath[edit]Since, according to the constitution, the Menteri Besar is appointed by the Ruler (or, in case of the Chief Minister and Premier, the Governor), the swearing-in is done before the Ruler (or Governor) of the state.Remuneration[edit]Remuneration of the Menteri Besar, Chief Minister, Premier as well as other members of the Executive Council (or Cabinet) and members of the state legislative assembly are to be decided by the respective state legislatures. Hence this varies from state to state according to their ordinance[4] or enactment[5] that amended by the state legislative.Present Menteris Besar, Chief Ministers and Premier[edit]StateTitlePortraitIncumbent (with preceding honorary titles)Party[a]Term\u00a0JohorMenteri Besar of JohorDatuk Onn Hafiz GhaziBN (UMNO)15 March 20221\u00a0year, 27\u00a0days\u00a0KedahMenteri Besar of KedahDato’ Seri Haji Muhammad Sanusi Md NorPN (PAS)17 May 20202\u00a0years, 329\u00a0days\u00a0KelantanMenteri Besar of KelantanUstaz Dato’ Bentara Kanan Haji Ahmad YakobPN (PAS)6 May 20139\u00a0years, 340\u00a0days\u00a0MalaccaChief Minister of MalaccaDatuk Seri Ab Rauf YusohBN (UMNO)31 March 202311\u00a0days\u00a0Negeri SembilanMenteri Besar of Negeri SembilanDato’ Seri Haji Aminuddin HarunPH (PKR)12 May 20184\u00a0years, 334\u00a0days\u00a0PahangMenteri Besar of PahangDato’ Sri Haji Wan Rosdy Wan IsmailBN (UMNO)15 May 20184\u00a0years, 331\u00a0days\u00a0PenangChief Minister of PenangTuan Chow Kon YeowPH (DAP)14 May 20184\u00a0years, 332\u00a0days\u00a0PerakMenteri Besar of PerakDato’ Seri Haji Saarani MohamadBN (UMNO)10 December 20202\u00a0years, 122\u00a0days\u00a0PerlisMenteri Besar of PerlisTuan Haji Mohd Shukri RamliPN (PAS)22 November 2022140\u00a0days\u00a0SabahChief Minister of SabahDatuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji NoorGRS (PGRS)29 September 20202\u00a0years, 194\u00a0days\u00a0SarawakPremier of SarawakTan Sri Datuk Patinggi Haji Abang Abdul Rahman Johari Abang OpengGPS (PBB)13 January 20176\u00a0years, 88\u00a0days\u00a0SelangorMenteri Besar of SelangorDato’ Seri Haji Amirudin ShariPH (PKR)19 June 20184\u00a0years, 296\u00a0days\u00a0TerengganuMenteri Besar of TerengganuProf. Dato’ Seri Dr. Haji Ahmad Samsuri MokhtarPN (PAS)10 May 20184\u00a0years, 336\u00a0days^ This column names only the chief minister’s party.
