Ten Malacca deputy executive councillors will be announced after the state executive council meeting tomorrow, said Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh.
He said the appointment of the deputy exco will also involve representatives from Pakatan Harapan to reflect the composition of the federal coalition government.
“The composition (deputy exco list) is pleasing, interesting, and the state assemblypersons have to work together with the appointed exco members under my administration making it more solid.
“All executive councillors will have their deputy... to be announced tomorrow,” he told a press conference after the swearing-in ceremony before Malacca governor Mohd Ali Rustam today.
Commenting on claims that the appointment of deputy exco was a waste, Ab Rauf (above) said this would depend on the existing state government administration.
He said the appointment of deputy exco for the 10 portfolios under his administration is in line with existing requirements to forge closer cooperation between the positions to develop Malacca to greater heights.
“It is up to the leadership of the day, but for me, at this time I need all the elected representatives to show that everyone is given a role to develop Malacca with me,” he said.
In another development, he said the exco lineup matches the portfolios which have been adopted to reflect the federal cabinet which combines two to three ministries under each exco portfolio.
He said he was confident the exco combination is now more established and they can carry out the responsibilities entrusted to them well while working in unity in Malacca.
“Political maturity begins in Malacca... we have entered a new political era, generating political power through political cooperation,” he said.
