KUCHING: Datuk Amar Mohamad Asfia Awang Nasar says he has no idea who the next Head of State will be to replace Tun Datuk Patinggi Mohammad Salahuddin Abang Barieng whose term of office will expire soon.
“I really have no idea at all. Under the state constitution, the head of state is appointed by Yang di-Pertuan Agong after consultation with the Chief Minister. I am not sure whether the state has proposed any names,” Asfia, the DUN Speaker said yesterday.
He, however, said the issue would not be discussed at the PBB supreme council meeting tomorrow as it was something beyond their authority.
He said this at the presentation of loyal and long service medals to state civil servants here yesterday.
He confirmed that the PBB supreme council meeting would be held on Saturday but confessed not knowing subjects for discussion as the official agenda had not been distributed to them.
