Tunku Sallehuddin is new Kedah Regency Council chairman

Tunku Temenggong Kedah Tan Sri Tunku Sallehuddin Ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah  has been appointed as the new Kedah Regency Council Chairman effective May 21.

Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mukhriz said the appointment has received the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah, who is also the Sultan of Kedah.

"On behalf of the Kedah state government and the rakyat, I would like to congratulate Tan Sri Tunku Sallehuddin on his appointment," he said in a statement Wednesday.

Tan Sri Tunku Sallehuddin took over the position from his brother, Tan Sri Tunku Annuar Sultan Badlishah, after the latter passed away following a heart attack at the Ipoh Pantai Hospital at 12.20am on May 21 at the age of 75.
