Selangor exco racial mix shows Malays in charge, say analysts

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: The racial composition of the new Selangor executive council, with only two Chinese among the 10 exco members, could be a move to send a message that the Malays are still in charge, according to political analysts.

Seven of the 10 are Malays. The three others are Ng Sze Han, Ng Suee Lim and Papparaidu Veraman, all from DAP.

Political analyst Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara said the exco lineup could be aimed at dispelling fears that the Chinese, through  DAP, are in charge of the government, a perception used by PAS and Bersatu in the state election campaigns this month.
