Menteri Besar Adnan Yaakob said the Pahang state executive council (exco) has no vacancy for the MCA but its leaders will be appointed as municipal and district council members.

“Similarly, the post of chairpersons of Kampung Security and Development Comittee (JKKK ) in Chinese new villages will go to the MCA leaders.”

Adnan said the Pahang state government welcomes the return of the Chinese representatives.

The MCA extraordinary general meeting (EGM) yesterday approved two resolutions allowing members to accept appointment as members of the Dewan Negara, Hospital Board of Visitors and posts in government linked companies (GLCs).

EGM chairperson Yip Phooi Hong said members can also accept appointments such as state exco members, municipal and district council members and community leaders.

On another note, Adnan said the election of Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Mohamad Shafie Apdal and Hishammuddin Hussein as Umno vice-presidents should be respected by members.
