“May these aspects be the factor to ease or allow us, as the opposition, to deal with him in a good way.

Saarani, 59, the Kota Tampan assemblyman, was sworn in as the 14th Menteri Besar of Perak before the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah, at Istana Iskandariah in Kuala Kangsar today.
Meanwhile, Perak Parti Amanah Negara chairman, Datuk Asmuni Awi said Saarani’s appointment, hopefully, could resolve the political crisis altogether and the focus now should be on the state's development.
Asmuni, who is also Manjoi assemblyman, said he would always cooperate and give his support if the agenda was given priority.
“I’m confident that in the new political history of Malaysia, especially in Perak, he (Saarani) will be able to make changes and do the best for the people,” he said.
Perak PKR chairman, Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak, said all political leaders in the state should take note of Sultan Nazrin’s reminder to end the political crisis and give the best services for the wellbeing of the people.
He said cooperation among political leaders should be a priority in safeguarding the people’s future while the world was still being adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
