REFLECTING its seriousness in pursuing fair representation of the various communities, the new Selangor exco line-up led by Mentri Besar-designate Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim will feature PKR taking five posts, DAP holding four and the remaining two posts going to PAS.
In the recent election, PKR, DAP and PAS won a total of 36 state seats in Selangor while Barisan Nasional managed only 20 seats.
Khalid, who is PKR secretary-general, won the Ijok state seat with a majority of 1,920 votes.
Sources told StarMetro that apart from Khalid, the assemblymen likely to be made exco members from PKR are Mohd Azmin Ali (Bukit Antarabangsa), Dr Xavier Jayakumar (Sri Andalas) and Lee Kim Sin (Kajang).
Dr Mohd Nasir Hashim, the protem chairman of Parti Sosialis Malaysia who won at Kota Damansara on a PKR ticket, is also likely to be made an exco member.
“We have to show what power-sharing is all about and the exco line-up, apart from ensuring that the various parties are represented, must also ensure we appoint the best people for the various portfolios,” said the Selangor PKR leader when contacted.
It is learnt that DAP strongman and former Opposition leader Teng Chang Khim (Sungai Pinang) would likely be left out of the exco line-up as certain quarters feel he may not be an effective team player.
State DAP chairman Ean Yong Hian Woh said apart from seeking four state exco positions, the party would also seek to have one of its exco members appointed Deputy Mentri Besar.
“It is a fair request given the fact that DAP won 13 seats,” said Yong, the assemblyman for Seri Kembangan, who is also tipped to be made an exco member.
Other assemblymen from DAP strongly tipped to become exco members are Ronnie Liu (Pandamaran), Teresa Kok (Kinrara) and Lau Weng San (Kampung Tunku).
According to a state PAS leader, the frontrunners from the party for the two exco posts are Datuk Dr Mohd Hasan Ali (Gombak Setia) and Dr Shafie Abu Bakar (Kajang).
Other contenders from PAS for the exco posts include Saari Sungib (Hulu Klang), Iskandar Abdul Samad (Chempaka) and Dr Halimah Ali (Selat Klang).
