Still no word on swearing-in date for Selangor executive council

(The Star) – Although three weeks have passed since the May 5 polls, no date has been set for the swearing-in ceremony of the Selangor executive council.

Many expect the announcement to be made this week, as Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim had indicated on May 18 that the line-up would be sworn in after he returned from receiving medical treatment for an old leg injury in Germany.

Khalid returned to Malaysia on Friday, but a source in his office said the date for the swearing-in ceremony had yet to be fixed.

Before he left the country, Khalid had submitted a list of names to the Sultan of Selangor for approval.

Khalid had then said that he expected to receive feedback on the proposed names from the Sultan after his return.

In the previous line-up, the DAP and PAS had three representatives each while the PKR had four.

The PKR will have three representatives this time, but it has not been finalised whether DAP or PAS would get the extra seat.

The DAP has already announced two of its proposed representatives – Datuk Teng Chang Khim (Sungai Pinang) and Ean Yong Hian Wah (Seri Kembangan).
