Both Pakatan and Perikatan to name candidates for Selangor speaker, deputy

The speaker and deputy speaker will be selected and appointed on Tuesday , just before the state's 56 assemblymen are sworn in.According to a state government source, Pakatan is likely to nominate DAP's Lau Weng San as speaker and PKR's Bukit Antarabangsa assemblyman Mohd Kamri Kamaruddin as deputy speaker.The source said Pakatan leaders feel Lau would be able to control the House, which is expected to be boisterous due to the increase in Opposition voice.

"He completed three terms as assemblyman and was an active debater in the House during his time as an elected representative.A Perikatan source, meanwhile, said the Opposition coalition would also have two nominees for the positions. "Although we know that we won't get the positions, we will still submit the names as it is part of a democratically elected government," he said."We are proposing Selangor PAS deputy commissioner III Dr Mohd Fuad Salleh for speaker and Sungai Ramal assemblyman Shafie Ngah for the post of deputy speaker," the source added.

The state government source, meanwhile, said if there were two names each for the post of speaker and deputy Speaker, selection would be done by ballot. "All the elected representatives will be required to vote for the candidates they want as speaker and deputy speaker for the next five years," he said.
