Swearing-in ceremony of Ramli as Penang governor on May 1 - Chow

 

The swearing-in ceremony of Ramli Ngah Talib as the ninth Yang Dipertua Negeri of Penang will take place on May 1 at Dewan Sri Pinang, George Town, said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.

He said the appointment was made following Article 1 of the Penang State Constitution, and that state secretary Zulkifli Long would handle the ceremony.

“We will also be organising a ceremony on April 28 to convey our appreciation to Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak, who has served one term as the Yang Dipertua Negeri of Penang,” he told reporters after attending the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration of the Mutiara Line LRT project today.

Describing Ramli, a former Perak menteri besar, as highly experienced in both the political and administrative sectors of the country and Perak, Chow expressed confidence that his appointment would contribute to the state’s development.

Ramli (above), who is a former Dewan Rakyat speaker, has been appointed as the ninth Penang governor, effective May 1, 2025, until April 30, 2029.

He received the instrument of appointment from Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar during the Presentation of the Instrument of Appointment Ceremony at Dewan Singgahsana Kecil, Istana Negara, yesterday.

He takes over from Fuzi, who has held the post since May 1, 2021.
