&lt;br /&gt;
=== Minister of Digital (since 2023) ===&lt;br /&gt;
In a [[2023 Malaysian cabinet reshuffle|cabinet reshuffle]] on 12 December 2023, Gobind Singh was brought back to the [[Cabinet of Malaysia|Cabinet]] after he was appointed as the [[Minister of Digital]], overseeing a new ministry formed from splitting up the [[Ministry of Communications (Malaysia)|Ministry of Communications and Digital]], previously led by [[Fahmi Fadzil]]. Upon learning the appointment, his brother Ramkarpal resigned from the government as the [[Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister&amp;#039;s Department]] in charge of Laws and Institutional Reforms to avoid allegations of [[nepotism]]. Gobind also took over the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU) from the [[Prime Minister&amp;#039;s Department (Malaysia)|Prime Minister&amp;#039;s Department]]. Fahmi added that Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), MYNIC Bhd and the Department of Personal Data Protection would also be placed under the purview of Gobind. Gobind highlighted the need to clarify and fine-tune certain aspects in terms of job scopes that fall under his ministry.&lt;br /&gt;
