KUALA LUMPUR – Simpang Renggam MP Maszlee Malik is set to become PKR’s choice for Johor menteri besar in the upcoming state election. 

Multiple sources have told The Vibes that the former education minister, who recently joined PKR, is also currently the opposition’s frontrunner for the top post.

Any final decision on the matter will depend on upcoming discussions between the Pakatan Harapan (PH) component parties, as approval must be obtained from DAP and Amanah.

The two parties are said to have other prospective candidates in mind, and a compromise may have to be made for the coalition to reach a consensus.

Johor PKR chief Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh confirmed that his party has finalised a name for the menteri besar position, but stopped short of naming him, pending discussion among PH’s top brass.

He said that both DAP and Amanah have yet to be officially informed of PKR’s pick.

“As far as we are concerned, we need to discuss this with our PH partners first. We won’t divulge details yet. It is not for us (PKR) to announce ourselves,” he told The Vibes today.
