People of Perak greet naming of new mentri besar with joy

Ahmad Faizal took his oath of office at 6pm in Istana Iskandariah, Kuala Kangsar, last Saturday.

ON SATURDAY, three days after GE14, the people of Perak heaved a sigh of relief over the fact they now had a state government.

With Pakatan Harapan winning 29 state seats, Barisan Nasional 27, and PAS three in the general election, no single party had achieved a simple majority of 30 seats to form the new state government.
