Hussein Onn formed the first Hussein cabinet after being invited by Tuanku Yahya Petra to begin a new government following the death of the previous Prime Minister of Malaysia, Abdul Razak Hussein. Prior to his death, Razak led (as Prime Minister) the second Razak cabinet, a coalition government that consisted of members of the component parties of Barisan Nasional. It was the 7th cabinet of Malaysia formed since independence.

A reshuffle of the cabinet was done on 31 December 1977, due to Parti Islam Se-Malaysia's expulsion from Barisan Nasional, resignation of Health Minister Lee Siok Yew, and the death of Minister of Agriculture Ali Ahmad from the plane crash at Tanjung Kupang.[1][2]
