KLANG, Sept 17 — Tanjung Sepat assemblyman Borhan Aman Shah and Sungai Kandis state representative Mohd Zawawi Ahmad Mughni were sworn in as the new Selangor state executive councillor at Balairung Seri Istana Alam Shah, here today.
The swearing-in and oath-taking ceremony as well as the conferment of the appointment letter were carried out before the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj.
In the oath-taking ceremony, Borhan and Mohd Zawawi took the ‘Aku Janji’ pledge, which includes conducts they must abide by during their tenure.
The pledge also includes keeping the confidentiality of discussions, preserving and ensuring Islam is not disturbed or threatened while respecting other religions, preserving the institution of monarchy, preserving the special position of the Malays and the interest of other races, and executing their duty with high integrity.
On March 5, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) was no longer part of the state administration due to the political dynamics that unfolded at the Federal level.
Following the political development, Selat Klang state assemblyman Datuk Rashid Asari was dropped from his post as the Cultural and Tourism, Malay Civilisation and Heritage state executive councillor.
The political shift also witnessed the vacancy of the Housing and Urban Living post following the termination of Haniza Mohamed Talha’s membership from PKR upon the recommendation of its Disciplinary Board during the party’s monthly meeting on June 28.
Apart from Borhan and Ahmad Zawawi from PKR, other representatives from the party holding a state portfolio include Mohd Khairuddin Othman, Rodziah Ismail and Hee Loy Sian.
Representatives from DAP are Dato’ Teng Chang Khim, Ng Sze Han and V Ganabatirau; whereas Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud and Izham Hashim represent Amanah.
