SHAH ALAM, Oct 7 — Selangor Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari unveiled his Selangor State Executive Council lineup today, following the appointment of the two new state executive councillors on September 17.

In a statement today, Amirudin disclosed five new portfolios to meet the current needs of the state namely Cultivation of Innovation and Smart Selangor (originally Science, Technology, and Innovation); Disaster Management; Workers Empowerment; Unity; and Halal Industry.

He said two existing portfolios were also renamed to cover a wider scope, which includes the Housing and Urban Wellbeing Committee (previously known as Housing and Urban Living Committee) and Public Health Committee (previously known as Health).

“Following the recent appointment of the two new members of the Selangor State Executive Councils, I have reviewed (the matter) and reshuffled the portfolios to form a new lineup effective immediately,” he said in the statement.

He said the minor reshuffle to the lineup affects Rodziah Ismail, who now holds the Housing and Urban Wellbeing as well as the Entrepreneur Development portfolio; Hee Loy Sian to oversee the Tourism, Environment, and Green Technology as well as Orang Asli Affairs Committee; and V Ganabatirau helms the Socio-economic Development, Social Welfare, and Workers Empowerment portfolio.
