Nagarajan, 58, succeeds the late Dr Sundaran Annamalai, who was killed in a helicopter crash in Sarawak on May 5.
He was previously the deputy secretary-general (Plantations and Commodities) of the Plantation Industries and Commodities Ministry.
At the same ministry, he was previously Divisional Secretary of the International Relations Division and Divisional Secretary of the Oil, Fats and Sago Division.
“He has vast experience in the fields of planning, research and policy, international relations, commodity industries and economy through his service career,” Ali said in a statement.
Nagarajan has served in the civil service for more than 32 years since joining the service as Administrative and Diplomatic Officer on Jan 9, 1984.
He had also served in the International Trade and Industry Ministry as Principal Assistant Secretary, Asean Economic Cooperation Division and Assistant Secretary, Industrial Policy Division.
Ali said he believed Nagarajan’s qualification, knowledge, experience and credibility could continue the mission of the Plantation Industries and Commodities Ministry to ensure Malaysia’s competitiveness at the international level in commodity-based industries and contribution towards national development.
