Megat Junid bin Megat Ayub (8 December 1942 – 24 January 2008) was a Malaysian politician and direct descendant of Megat Terawis, a Bendahara of Perak.
Junid was born in Teluk Intan in 1942.
Megat Junid was a teacher by profession and first met Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in the early 1970s. Mahathir was living in exile for criticising then Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman at the time of their meeting. Junid soon left teaching to become Mahathir's special assistant.
Junid was first elected as a Malaysian Member of Parliament at the same time that Mahathir became the Prime Minister of the country. He was appointed Deputy Minister of Primary Industries in Mahathir's government, just two years later.
In 1986, Mahathir next appointed Junid to be his deputy in the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Junid was appointed to become Malaysia's Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs in 1997. 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.
Megat Junid died on 24 January 2008, aged 65, at the Pantai Medical Centre in Bangsar following a battle with prostate cancer. His body was buried at Bukit Kiara Muslim Cemetery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[1] He was a resident of Kelana Jaya.[1]
