SUBANG JAYA: PKR'S Nanthakumar Poapalan has been appointed to the vacant councillor post in the Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) which had been earlier reserved for Selangor Barisan Nasional (BN).

Nanthakumar, 33, took up the seat for the 2024-2025 term after it was left empty for three months. The seat was supposed to be filled by a BN representative as part of the quota for the unity government in the state. However, the coalition failed to name anyone for the post.
