New Selangor MB to be appointed on June 19 (Updated)

PETALING JAYA: Selangor will appoint a new mentri besar to take over from Datuk Seri Azmin Ali on June 19, the Sultan's private secretary said today.
Datuk Mohamad Munir Bani said Azmin would officially hand over his duties following the swearing-in ceremony at the Balairung Seri (Throne Room) of Istana Alam Shah in Klang.
"Following the upcoming appointment, Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali will also resign as the Selangor mentri besar on the same date (June 19)," he said in a statement.
Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah had consented to Azmin leaving his mentri besar post to become the economic affairs minister.
