All but one of 56 S'gor assemblypersons sworn in

All but one of the 56 Selangor state assemblypersons took their oath of office at the first meeting of the first session of the 14th Selangor legislative assembly which convened in Shah Alam today.

Sungai Kandis assemblyperson Mat Shuhaimi Shafiei was absent due to health reasons.

The assemblypersons were sworn in before the newly-elected speaker, Sekinchan representative Ng Suee Lim of the DAP.

Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari, who is the assemblyperson for Sungai Tua, was sworn in first, followed by the 10 state executive councillors and then the rest of the assemblypersons.

Earlier, Ng, 47, who is the Selangor DAP publicity secretary, took his oath of office as the new speaker. He takes over from former Subang Jaya assemblyperson Hannah Yeoh, who is now the MP for Segambut.

PKR's Paya Jaras assemblyperson Mohd Khairuddin Othman, also 47, was elected the new deputy speaker. He takes over from former Bangi assemblyperson Mohd Shafie Ngah of PAS.

Pakatan Harapan retained power in Selangor in the 14th general election on May 9 when it won 51 of the 56 seats in the legislative assembly, securing a two-thirds majority. PKR won 25 seats, DAP, 15, Amanah eight, and Bersatu three.

The BN only retained four of the 12 seats it held in the last assembly, namely Sungai Panjang, Hulu Bernam, Sungai Burong and Sungai Air Tawar.

PAS won only one seat, Sijangkang, out of the 12 seats it held in the last assembly.
