GEORGE TOWN: Dato Keramat assemblyman Jagdeep Singh Deo of DAP has been named Penang deputy chief minister II while PKR’s Batu Maung assemblyman, Mohamad Abdul Hamid, is deputy chief minister I.
Jagdeep succeeds P Ramasamy who held the post for three terms, since the 12th general election (GE12) in 2008, but was dropped as a candidate in the recent state polls.
Jagdeep will oversee the portfolio of human capital development, science, and technology, while Mohamad will be responsible for Islamic development, education, and national unity.
Bertam assemblyman Reezal Merican Naina Merican of Umno, who was rumoured to be made a deputy chief minister, has not been named as an executive councillor (exco).
Barisan Nasional’s Sungai Acheh assemblyman, Rashidi Zinol, is the coalition’s sole representative in the state cabinet. He will head the trade and entrepreneurial development, and rural development committee.
The 11-man exco lineup, which includes eight new faces, comprises eight DAP representatives, two from PKR, and one from Umno.
