MELAKA, April 5 — Three new faces, including one from Pakatan Harapan (PH) were sworn in as state executive council members today, while two state assemblymen previously in the exco lineup were dropped.
Kesidang assemblyman Seah Shoo Chin, the only PH representative who was appointed as the State Entrepreneur Development, Cooperatives and Consumer Affairs Committee chairman, was among the 10 state exco members who took the oath of office before the Yang Di-Pertua Negeri Tun Mohd Ali Rustam at 8am today.
Two other new faces are Asahan assemblyman Fairul Nizam Roslan who was appointed State Science, Technology, Innovation and Digital Communication Committee chairman and Ayer Limau assemblyman Datuk Hameed Mytheen Kunju Basheer who is now State Works, Infrastructure, Public Facilities and Transport Committee chairman.
Meanwhile, the two who were not reappointed were Rembia assemblyman Datuk Muhammad Jailani Khamis who previously held the Tourism, Heritage and Culture portfolio and Serkam assemblyman Datuk Zaidi Attan (Housing, Local Government and Environment).
Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh, who holds the Economic Planning, Finance, Land Affairs, Non-Government Agencies, Investment, Industry and TVET Development portfolio was sworn in last Friday.
