Penang to swear in 40 assemblymen on Aug 29

GEORGE TOWN, Aug 25 — All 40 Penang assemblymen are set to take their oath of office on August 29 at the Penang State Legislative Assembly building here, said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.

He said the swearing-in for all 40 assemblymen is subject to a notice handed to the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak for consent.

Earlier, Chow officiated the STEM Showcase 2023 ceremony in conjunction with the state-level National Science Week 2023 at Han Chiang High School, which was also attended by Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang.

In the August 12 state polls, the Pakatan Harapan (Harapan)-Barisan Nasional alliance won 29 seats while Perikatan Nasional grabbed 11 seats, following which Penang Harapan chairman Chow was sworn in as chief minister.

On August 16, 10 Penang executive councillors took their oath of office before the Yang di-Pertua Negeri at Dewan Sri Pinang.
