Nancy Shukri

After successfully defending her seat in the 2013 Malaysian general election, Nancy was appointed as Minister in the Prime Minister's Department in the new Cabinet of Malaysia announced by then Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak.

In November 2013, she created a controversy when she became a Minister in the Najib Razak cabinet, saying "Bumiputera will steal if they left unaided.". She said it in her defence of the government’s recent move to reintroduce a race-preferential economic policy that has drawn the ire of Malaysia’s minority Chinese and Indian communities.

Nancy was elected to parliament in the 2008 Malaysian general election for the conservative rural seat of Batang Sadong.
