MELAKA - The appointment of an MCA representative to the Melaka state executive council (exco) will be discussed only after the state government receives an official letter from the party on its decision to allow an assemblyman from the party to accept the state post.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron said so far, the state government only knew about MCA's latest decision on the matter from media reports.
"We don't want to govern the state based on media reports alone...we are still waiting for the signal from MCA itself," he told a news conference after the state-level launching of the ASNB Estate Planning Services in Ayer Keroh, here, today.
Also present was Permodalan Nasional Berhad president and chief executive Tan Sri Hamad Kama Piah Che Othman.
The MCA Extraordinary General Meeting on Oct 20 had passed a resolution to allow its party members to accept state government posts.
Melaka has three state assemblymen from MCA, namely Datuk Lai Meng Chong (Machap), Datuk Ng Choon Koon (Bemban) and Lim Ban Hong (Klebang).
Idris said there would be no revamp of the existing state exco line-up if an MCA assemblyman came onboard but he did not dismiss the possibility of changes in portfolio among the exco members.
"But the exco members had only been appointed about five months ago and we'll see first at how they have performed," he said. – Bernama
