The announcement was made by Menteri Besar Mohamed Khaled Nordin in the state assembly today, Senai assemblyperson Wong Shu Qi said.

Wong said that amendments include inserting a provision that board members are appointed by the sultan on the advice of the MB.

She told Malaysiakini that the Bill will tabled as planned tomorrow with amendments.
