New Petaling Jaya Mayor Appointed.

After a period of guessing and I suppose, intense lobbying, the Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamed Khir Toyo finally made the announcement today. When the former Mayor Datuk Ahmad Termizi Puteh was quietly eased out when his contract was not renewed, there was naturally a lot of speculation why he was shown the door so quickly in his tenure. Also there had been some discussion as to the person who will succeed him.

Now it tranpires that the man selected to occupy the hotseat is Mohamad Roslan Sakiman, the former Hulu Langat District Officer. Why he was chosen and the criteria employed in the selection is not known at this time. Suffice to note that if Khir Toyo had a major say, then our new man needs a little extra watching to see how he 'performs.' In any case I'm sure there will surely be 'lots of eyes' watching the new mayor. Over the next few weeks and months things should become more clear regarding the reasons for his selection. Then of course we'll know won't we?
