23 OCTOBER 2020

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein has been appointed the new Barisan Nasional (BN) treasurer-general, replacing Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.

BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the minor reshuffle was conducted after taking into account several aspects to strengthen the coalition’s organisational structure.

He said the appointment was made after consulting the presidents of other component parties.

“However, Tengku Adnan will continue to carry out his duties as UMNO treasurer,” he said in a statement today.

Ahmad Zahid hoped Hishammuddin who is also the Sembrong member of Parliament would be able to discharge the duties entrusted to him to the best of his abilities.

He also conveyed BN’s appreciation on Tengku Adnan’s contributions and services as BN treasurer-general. - Bernama
