Johor MB reveals exco line-up, Mazlan and Chong sworn in

Newly-minted Johor Menteri Besar Hasni Mohammad unveiled his exco line-up, who were sworn in at Istana Bukit Serene this morning.

Bersatu Johor chief Mazlan Bujang and former PKR Pemanis assemblyperson Chong Fat Full were among the 10 who took their oath of office.

Meanwhile, Bersatu's Tosrin Jarvanthi and Solehan Badri were retained from the previous government line-up.

In total, the excos consist of four Umno, four Bersatu, one MIC, and one independent assemblyperson.

Hasni has dubbed his lineup the "Exco Makmur Johor" (Johor Prosperity Exco).

"This alone is enough for the people to know that the goal of my administration is for the benefit of Johor," he said.

Stressing that his government would serve all Johoreans, he also called for an end to politicking and squabbling.

Hasni was sworn in as menteri besar last week to head a BN-Bersatu-PAS coalition.

Despite initial disputes to his command of a majority, Chong's defection from PKR yesterday gave Hasni 29 seats in the 56-member state assembly.

The new state government lineup is as follows.

1) Hasni Mohammad (Umno-Benut)

- Natural Resources, Administration, Finance, Planning, and Economic Development
