Selangor exco sworn in

The Selangor executive council members were sworn in at Istana Bukit Kayangan in Klang this morning.
They were Teresa Kok (DAP), Dr Hassan Ali (PAS), Yaakob Sapari (PKR), Rodziah Ismail (PKR), Dr Xavier Jayakumar (PKR), Dr Halimah Ali (PAS), Iskandar Abdul Samad (PAS), Ronnie Liu (DAP), Elizabeth Wong (PKR) and Ean Yong Hian Wah (DAP).
Selangor menteri besar Khalid Ibrahim also revealed that no deputy menteri besar would be appointed for the moment.
Kok told journalists that she has been named senior exco - a new position created in lieu of a deputy mentri besar post.
She has been given the state cabinet profolio of investment, industry and trade.
One obvious absentee among the state assemblypersons today was DAP's veteran Teng Chang Khim, who has been left out of the exco list.
Teng, who is Sungai Pinang representative, was former state opposition leader.
According to Kok, Teng had informed Chinese newspapers yesterday that he did "receive any invitation" swearing-in ceremony.
However, this appeared to be a snub by Teng over the fact that three relatively junior DAP assemblypersons had been selected over him.
As a compromise, Teng is likely to be picked as a speaker for the state assembly.
When asked by journalists whether Teng's supporters would not be happy with his faction being sidelined, Kok said that it was all "up to Teng".
Among those present today at the palace were former mentri besar Mohd Khir Toyo and new state Barisan Nasional chief Muhammad Muhammad Taib.
