KLANG: The Selangor palace has issued a statement that the state’s Mentri Besar will be sworn in on Monday (Aug 21).
The statement, which was posted on the Selangor Royal Office official Facebook page stated that Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah had consented for the swearing-in and oath-taking ceremony to be held on the same day.
The event is scheduled to be held at the Istana Alam Shah here at 11am.
The statement also said the new Selangor exco line-up will also be sworn in on the same day and venue at 2pm.
Although, no names have been disclosed, it is highly likely that caretaker mentri besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari will be sworn in for a second term as Selangor’s top executive.
As for the 10 exco members, there is some inkling as to whom among the Pakatan Harapan’s 32 and Barisan Nasional’s two elected representatives will assume the positions.
However, it is believed there is a slight dispute as to from which party the sole Indian exco member will come from.
DAP is pushing for its first term Banting assemblyman V. Papparaidu to assume the position while PKR is keen on its second-term Sentosa assemblyman Gunaraj George to assume the position.
