M. Kula Segaran s/o V. Murugeson (Tamil: மு.குலசேகரன், romanized: Mu.Kulacēkaraṉ; born 10 August 1957), commonly referred to as Kula, is a Malaysian politician and barrister who has served as the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of Laws and Institutional Reforms in the Unity Government administration under Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Minister Azalina Othman Said since December 2023 and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ipoh Barat since March 2004. He served as the Minister of Human Resources in the PH administration under former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad from May 2018 to the collapse of the PH administration in February 2020 and the MP for Teluk Intan from May 1997 to November 1999. He is a member and National Vice Chairman of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), a component party of the PH and formerly Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and Barisan Alternatif (BA) coalitions.^[1][2] His appointment as a deputy minister in December 2023 is rare in Malaysian politics since he was a former federal minister in the Seventh Mahathir cabinet back in 2018. He is one of the three deputy ministers who were previously a federal minister alongside Shamsul Anuar Nasarah and Noraini Ahmad.
