Hassanal Bolkiah carried out the third reshuffle of his government on 24 May 2005, appointing appointing one senior minister, three ministers, and five deputy ministers. The announcement was delivered during a televised speech at 5:20 pm. The previous cabinet had been reshuffled in 1988, followed by the next one in 2010.
The cabinet reshuffle introduced minor adjustments aimed at improving governance, though many ministers retained their positions, and the sultan continued to serve as prime minister, finance minister, and defence minister. The newly expanded cabinet comprised 16 positions, including Crown Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah as senior minister at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), along with 14 ministers and 10 deputy ministers.
According to the sultan's televised speech, the cabinet reshuffle was aimed at maintaining national security, prosperity, and effective governance. The sultan highlighted Brunei's ability to stand alongside other nations through strong administration, adherence to laws, and disciplined leadership. The reshuffle sought to enhance government efficiency and ensure continued progress in various sectors. The sultan also expressed gratitude to outgoing officials for their contributions, wishing them continued well-being and success.
On 30 May 2005, members of the newly formed cabinet were sworn in for a five-year term during a ceremony at the palace. On 2 June, the sultan chaired the first cabinet meeting following the reshuffle, which was also held at the palace.
