The Pahang government has appointed three special officers to ease administrative matters, beginning July 1.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob said former Teruntum state assemblyman Datuk Ti Lian Ker had been made special officer in charge of the Chinese community; Sabai state assemblyman Datuk M. Davendran, the special officer for the Indian community; and Kuantan Wanita Umno chief Zaiton Mat, the special officer for women.Adnan said these officers would help expedite the process of resolving problems related to the Chinese, Indians and women.
He refuted the assumption of a possible crisis in the state MCA and MIC with regard to the appointment of the two special officers to handle Chinese and Indian affairs, respectively.
“The appointments of Ti and Davendran are based on the need of the state administration and to take care of the welfare of the people and not party matters. Therefore, I feel it will not cause problems,” he said.
