IPOH: Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Saarani Mohamad remains tight-lipped on whether PAS will be part of the new state executive council.
He said he could only propose names as it was the prerogative of the Perak Ruler Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah to give the final assent to the list.
On Thursday, after his swearing-in as the mentri besar at Istana Iskandariah in Kuala Kangsar, the initial five exco members were sworn in as well.
There are still five more exco members to be appointed to complete the line-up.

IPOH: The Mentri Besar can only propose the names of Perak state executive councillors, as it is the prerogative of Perak Ruler Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah to assent to the exco list, says Datuk Saarani Mohamad (

The Perak Mentri Besar said this when asked if PAS would be part of the list, as there were five more exco members who have yet to be appointed.
“The post of the five exco members will be filled when the time is right, but you must remember that a mentri besar can only suggest the names, while the final say would be that of the Ruler, said Saarani.
