Eight Pakatan Harapan (Harapan) elected state representatives have signed statutory declarations (SD) supporting Pahang BN chairperson Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail to become the menteri besar.
This was confirmed by Sim Chon Siang, who won the Teruntum state seat.
Sim said they signed the SDs at a lawyer’s office in Temerloh today.
Also present with Sim was Chan Chun Kuang (Semambu), Tengku Zulpuri Shah Raja Puji (Tras), Woo Chee Wan (Mentakab) and Thomas Su Keong Siong (Ketari).
Three others - Ho Chi Yang (Tanah Rata), Leong Yu Man (Triang) and Lee Chin Chen (Bilut), he added, were also expected to do the same today.
“We are made to understand that discussions with Pahang BN on the formation of the state government is still going on,” Sim said when contacted.
Meanwhile, Pahang PAS commissioner Rosli Abdul Jabar, when contacted, said no decision had been reached yet between Pahang PN and the state BN on the formation of the state government.
Pahang PN was represented by PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man at the discussion.
Wan Rosdy (above) has yet to release any statement regarding the discussion on the formation of Pahang’s new state government.
No party contesting in GE15 managed to obtain a simple majority to form the Pahang state government, which resulted in a hung state assembly.
PN secured 17 seats followed by BN (16), and Harapan (eight).
There are 42 seats in the Pahang state assembly. Polling for the Tioman seat, following the death of PN candidate Md Yunus Ramli, 61, at 3.30am on the polling day last Saturday, believed to be from a heart attack, will be held on Dec 7.
