Shazail Shiyam has been appointed as the Managing Director for Maldive Gas.

This marks the first appointment of an MD through the slots allocated to Maumoon Reform Movement, and the first MD appointment in President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's administration.

Shazail previously held the position of Deputy Minister for both Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture, and Ministry of Tourism. He also held the position of chairman for the company Kooddoo Fisheries.

Shazail was removed from his position at the Tourism Ministry in April 2017, over crossing faction from former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom's side to that of former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom's during the division of then ruling Progressive Party of Maldives.

Shazail is the brother-in-law of Villingili MP Saud Hussain.
