| PAS' Nizar sworn in as Perak MB |
Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin was sworn in as Perak Menteri Besar at the royal town of Kuala Kangsar this morning.
Mohammad Nizar’s first measure after assuming the menteri besar post was to announce that all compound notices and parking summonses issued up to today by all local councils in Perak would be waived.
This is the first time that someone outside of Umno has been appointed MB for Perak.
With the appointment of Muhammad Nizar today, the next event would be the naming of the two deputy menteris besar as agreed by the coalition partners and the forming of the exco.
Perak DAP chairperson and Setiawan state assemblyperson Ngeh Khoo Ham would be made deputy menteri besar (1) while an Indian candidate from PKR would be made deputy menteri besar (2).
The only Indian candidate from PKR is S Kesavan, who won the Hutan Melintang state seat.
