Political career

Johor Executive Councillor

During his tenure as an executive councillor in the Johor state executive council, Ab Aziz Kaprawi was also one of the panellists for the joint venture project for the 3,642.17ha land agriculture project with JCorp, a state owned corporate institution.[1]

Deputy Minister

Ab Aziz Kaprawi said that his appointment as the Deputy Minister of Transport was a pleasant surprise as he did not expect to be appointed in any Federal position. However, he did vow to give his best to the people of Malaysia. He was one of the new faces that Prime Minister Najib Razak had personally selected to be in his cabinet. He also said that one of his most challenging task is to address the Automated Enforcement System (AES) issue and public transportation[2]

Controversy

In August 2015, Aziz Kaprawi asserted that the RM 2.6 billion donation from anonymous sources to Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak's personal accounts between March 2013 and February 2015 were part of an effort to fight a global Jewish conspiracy against Malaysia, accusing the leading opposition party Democratic Action Party of being 'based on and funded by the Jews'.[3]

Aziz Kaprawi made an announcement on 4 Apr 2015 that the vehicle entry permit (VEP) for vehicles entering Malaysia from Singapore will start on 1 Aug,[4] after being delayed from June,[5] before being further delayed to 1 September, and then to 1 October.[6]
