GEORGE TOWN: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has paid a courtesy call on the newly appointed Yang Dipertua Negeri of Penang, Tun Ramli Ngah Talib, during his official visit to the state.
The Rural and Regional Development Minister, who also attended a dinner with the Penang Governor, noted with earnest attention the ideas and views that Ramli shared, describing them as highly inspirational and reflective of a strong concern for people's welfare and unity.
"I hope Tun Ramli continues to be blessed with good health as the Yang Dipertua Negeri of Penang. May his leadership bring prosperity and harmony to the people of Penang," he said in a Facebook post on Monday night (May 12).
Earlier, Ahmad Zahid attended the proclamation ceremony for Maktab Rendah Sains MARA (MRSM) Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in Kepala Batas, previously known as MRSM Kepala Batas and the launching of the Penang Halal Industry Development Council in Seberang Jaya.
On May 1, Ramli, 84, was sworn in as the ninth Yang Dipertua Negeri of Penang in a full ceremonial event at Dewan Sri Pinang, taking over from Tun Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak. – Bernama
