The new Selangor executive councillor line-up announced today sees PAS' representation slashed following the party's obstructive role in the Selangor MB saga.
 
With this, PAS' exco members are down from the previous four to three, with PKR taking up the spot to give it four.

However, the deputy speaker post will be given to PAS.
　
The PKR-DAP-PAS composition of the exco, which was approved by the sultan yesterday, was announced by the newly-minted Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali at a press conference this morning.

To a question, however, Azmin denied that PAS representation in the exco line-up was reduced because it refused to follow PKR’s and DAP’s move to nominate PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail for the menteri besar post.
 
“No, I don’t think that was the issue. The issue here is, we want to move forward and that was the discussion that we had for the last few days.
 
“As I mentioned earlier, we want to present a very strong team in this new line-up and that was what we have agreed upon,” he replied, adding that PAS has also consented to the new line-up.
 
New faces

The new faces in the exco line-up are Seri Setia assemblyperson and former Selangor deputy speaker Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (PKR), Batu Caves assemblyperson Amirudin Shari (PKR), and Taman Templer assemblyperson Zaidy Abdul Talib (PAS).
 
Azmin said Nik Nazmi has already resigned from his deputy speaker post, and he (Azmin) has agreed that the vacancy should be filled by a PAS representative.
 
“They (PAS) would decide, and we would appoint the new deputy speaker when the assembly convenes in November,” he said.
 
Meanwhile, those dropped from the previous exco line-up are exco member for agriculture Sallehen Mukhyi (PAS), exco member for education Halimah Ali (PAS), and exco member for welfare and women’s affairs Rodziah Ismail (PKR).
 
The swearing-in ceremony will be held in the Alam Shah Palace in Klang at 3pm today. Azmin also said the portfolio for the excos would be discussed over the weekend.

The full line-up announced at the press conference this morning is as follows (* newcomer):
