ISKANDAR PUTERI, Aug 12 — State governments under Pakatan Harapan (PH) are expected to recognise the opposition similar to what the federal government had done.​​​​​​​

Johor assembly opposition leader Datuk Hasni Mohammad said it included selecting the opposition to chair the Public Accounts Committee as the federal government had chosen the opposition to head the PAC at federal level already.

“I hope the state government would also translate recognition for the opposition similar to that at federal level,” he told reporters after receiving the key to the Opposition Leader’s room from Johor State Legislative Assembly Speaker, Suhaizan Kaiat at Level 1 of Bangunan Sultan Ismail here today.
