Portfolios of 10 S'gor exco members to be announced Aug 23, says MB

KLANG: The portfolios of the 10 members of the Selangor state executive council (Exco) will be announced on Wednesday (Aug 23) after the first Exco meeting.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said all 10 Exco members taking their oath of office on Monday (Aug 21) evening are from the coalition parties of the Unity Government.

"I will announce the porfolios of all Exco members at about noon to 12.30pm after the first Exco meeting on Wednesday,” he told reporters at Istana Alam Shah here Monday.

According to him, the coalition of Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) has succeeded in passing the first test during the state election despite failing to obtain a two-third majority.

"But we have 12 more seats than the Opposition. This is a good start that we can strengthen further (PH-BN cooperation) in future,” he said.

The PH-BN coalition won 34 of the 56 seats in the state election on Aug 12. The remaining 22 seats were controlled by Perikatan Nasional (PN).

Amirudin took his oath of office as Mentri Besar before Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah at Balairung Seri, Istana Alam Shah, here at about 11.23am Monday. - Bernama
