Terengganu to name Gerakan member as appointed assemblyman
MELAKA: The Terengganu government will appoint a Chinese member of Gerakan as a state assemblyman to represent the community, which currently has no representation in the state assembly.
The Terengganu government has announced plans to appoint a Chinese member of Gerakan as an appointed assemblyman to represent the community, which currently has no representation in the state assembly. Menteri Besar Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar made the announcement during a campaign event for the Melaka state election, stating that the decision was made to broaden representation and serve as a bridge between the state government and the state's multiracial communities.
The appointment will be finalized at the state assembly sitting on November 16 and 17, in accordance with Article 27(2) of the Terengganu State Constitution, which allows for the appointment of up to four assemblymen to represent minority ethnic groups, religions, or genders that lack representation among the elected members.
