KANGAR: A new Perlis executive council (exco) can be formed if just four more members are appointed, says Mentri Besar Abu Bakar Hamzah. "Without the Mentri Besar, it is four and with the Mentri Besar, it becomes five. There are 15 seats in the Perlis State Assembly. He said all existing PAS exco members would resign in solidarity following the resignation of former mentri besar Mohd Shukri Ramli. Abu Bakar, who is also Perlis Perikatan Nasional deputy chairman, said exco portfolios could be consolidated or abolished to reduce the administrative burden.
