Megat Junid bin Megat Ayub (8 December 1942[1] – 24 January 2008) was a Malaysian politician and direct descendant of Megat Terawis, a BendaharaofPerak.

Early life[edit]

Junid was born in Teluk Intan in 1942.[1]

Politics[edit]

Megat Junid was a teacher by profession and first met Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in the early 1970s.[1] Mahathir was living in exile for criticising then Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman at the time of their meeting.[1] Junid soon left teaching to become Mahathir's special assistant.[1]

Junid was first elected as a Malaysian Member of Parliament at the same time that Mahathir became the Prime Minister of the country.[1] He was appointed Deputy Minister of Primary Industries in Mahathir's government, just two years later.[1]

In 1986, Mahathir next appointed Junid to be his deputy in the Ministry of Home Affairs.[1]

Junid was appointed to become Malaysia's Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs in 1997.[1] He served in the post for two years until he lost his seat in Parliament to a PAS candidate in the 1999 Malaysian general election.[1]

Death[edit]

Megat Junid died on 24 January 2008, aged 65, at the Pantai Medical Centre in Bangsar following a battle with prostate cancer.[1] His body was buried at Bukit Kiara Muslim CemeteryinKuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[1] He was a resident of Kelana Jaya.[1]
