Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said no decision had been made to fill posts in state government-linked agenices which would be left vacant when Deputy Chief Minister I Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin resigns next month.
Mohammad Fairus, whose resignation takes effect on April 8, is also state entrepreneur and cooperative development, information and community relations committee chairman, Penang Development Corporation director, InvestPenang chairman and Penang Water Supply (PBA) deputy chairman.
Lim said there were no plans as yet, to fill the posts after Mohammad Fairus quit.
“Let us wait until after the resignation before deciding on his position in the other agencies,” he told reporters after announcing the appointment of PAS vice-president Mohamad Sabu as a member of the PBA board of directors here Tuesday.
Lim has also appointed PAS state commissioner Mohd Salleh Man and Pematang Pasir Assemblyman Mohd Hamdan Abdul Rahman as members of the board of directors for the state halal hub.
Last Saturday, the chief minister had announced that Mohammad Fairus would quit as deputy chief minister I and state exco member effective April 8, but would remain as Penanti assemblyman and PKR member.
The next day, the media quoted Mohammad Fairus as saying that he was the victim of a conspiracy within PKR but declined to elaborate. -- Bernama
