Former Pokok Sena MP Mahfuz Omar (above) is among five Pakatan Harapan political appointees to head agencies under the purview of the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry.
Of the five appointees named by minister Mohamad Sabu today, three are from Amanah, one from PKR, and one from DAP.
The new chairpersons, effective May 15, are:
Mahfuz (Amanah) - Farmers' Organisation Authority (LPP)
Faiz Fadzil (Amanah) - Fisheries Development Authority (LKIM)
Aminuddin Zulkipli (Amanah) - Farmers' Agriculture Marketing Authority (Fama)
Dr Azman Ismail (PKR) - Malaysian Agriculture Research and Development Institute (Mardi)
Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali (DAP) - Malaysian Pineapple Industry Board (LPNM)
Mohamad - who is also Amanah president - said in a statement today that the five were appointed based on their “broad experience” in various fields including policy, management, administration, and service.
“I am confident in the knowledge, credibility, and experience they have to spearhead and carry out their duties and responsibilities in supporting and ensuring development in line with the aspirations of Malaysia Madani,” he added.
Mahfuz - who is also Harapan Kedah chief - was formerly the deputy human resources minister when the coalition was in power from 2018 to 2020.
Faiz had headed LKIM during that period. He is currently the Permatang Pasir assemblyperson.
Aminuddin was the Perak deputy legislative speaker from 2018 to 2020 and is the Behrang assemblyperson.
Azman was a two-term Kuala Kedah MP before he was defeated by a Perikatan Nasional candidate in last year’s general election.
Sheikh Umar was a former Johor exco member when Harapan led the state from 2018 to 2020. - Mkini
