KUALA PILAH: The lineup of the Negeri Sembilan state cabinet, or executive council, is expected to be finalised by this Friday at the latest, said newly appointed menteri besar Ismail Lasim.

He said discussions with the Barisan Nasional leadership would be held first before the proposed lineup is presented to the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, for approval.

·Ismail said he would also meet Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi soon to seek his views on the composition of the state executive council (exco), including the possibility of appointing state elected representatives from Perikatan Nasional (PN).

“Ideally, we aim to complete the matter within this week, by Friday, if time permits. To form the government, we have state assembly members from Barisan Nasional. Not only from Umno but also from component parties, MCA and MIC.

“The inclusion of PN assemblymen in the exco lineup will also be discussed with the Umno president,” he told reporters at his first press conference after being sworn in as menteri besar today.

Earlier, Ismail, who is Juasseh assemblyman, took his oath of office as menteri besar in a ceremony held before Tuanku Muhriz at Istana Besar Seri Menanti.

On the size of the exco lineup, Ismail said the matter had yet to be finalised but expressed the view that maintaining a 10-member structure, as practised previously, would be the most suitable arrangement for the state administration.

He said discussions on the appointment of the exco and portfolio distribution would only take place after consultations with the party leadership.

Ismail added that the welfare and well-being of the people would remain the state government’s top priority during his administration.
