Kuala lumpur: Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi has reminded the state's newly appointed executive councillors (Exco) that there will be no 'honeymoon' period, urging them instead to get straight to work in fulfilling their responsibilities to the people.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the strong and valuable mandate given by the people of Johor must be translated into harder work, more efficient public service delivery, and tangible results that benefit all segments of society. Onn Hafiz emphasized that the appointment of Exco members is not a privilege but a significant trust and responsibility. He reiterated that the state government must prioritize driving the Maju Johor 2030 agenda with greater focus and effectiveness to build a more developed, prosperous, and inclusive Johor for all Johoreans.

He assured that the state government would continue to safeguard the interests of all communities, regardless of their background, to ensure the success of the Maju Johor 2030 agenda for the well-being of all Bangsa Johor. Onn Hafiz highlighted that the new term would see continuity in the state administration, with six incumbent executive councillors retained and four new faces appointed to strengthen the state government machinery.

Earlier today, 10 assemblymen were sworn in as members of the Johor Exco before the Regent of Johor, Tunku Mahkota Ismail, at Istana Bukit Serene. The six retained executive councillors are Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor, Mohd Hairi Mad Shah, Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid, Ling Tian Soon, Lee Ting Han, and Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh. The four newly appointed executive councillors are Hasrunizah Hassan, Md Israk Abdullah, Dr Mohammad Naqib Md Ghazali, and P. Pannir Selvam.
