Datuk Dr. Mohd. Radzi bin Md. Jidin (Jawi: محمد ردزي بن مد جيدين; born 4 September 1977) is a Malaysian politician who has served as the Senior Minister in charge of Education and Minister of Education for the second term in the Barisan Nasional (BN) administration under Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob since August 2021 and Senator since July 2018. He served his first term in Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration under former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin from March 2020 to August 2021. He also served as Senior Minister in charge of Education and Society in the PN adminitration under Muhyiddin from March 2020 to August 2021. He is a member of and has served as Vice-President of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), a component party of the ruling PN coalition, since August 2020.

Early life[]

Radzi was born on 4 September 1977 to a former headmaster in Ketereh, Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Before joining politics, he was a lecturer in forensic accounting at University of Tasmania in Hobart, Australia.[1]

Political career[]

He contested in the 2018 general election for Ketereh federal seat in Kelantan against incumbent Annuar Musa from UMNO of BN and Wan Ismail Wan Jusoh from the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) but was defeated.[2][3]

He served as the Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs in the Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration under former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and former Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali from July 2018 to the collapse of the PH administration in February 2020. He is a member of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), a component party of the ruling PN coalition and formerly PH coalition and was a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a component party of the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.

Radzi's efficacy as Education Minister has often been questioned[by whom?] since the Perikatan Nasional government takeover in 2020. His tenure has largely been acknowledged as a disservice[by whom?] to Malaysian students owing to a lack of policy making prowess and foresight particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5][neutrality is disputed][further explanation needed]
