Johor will have a new state executive council lineup soon, says newly minted Menteri Besar Dr Sahruddin Jamal.

Speaking at his first press conference after being sworn in as the 17th menteri besar this morning, Sahruddin noted that his executive council will focus on continuing the state government's efforts to help the people of Johor.

At the press conference, Sahruddin said that he would announce his new exco lineup sooner than the conventional 14-day period after assuming office.
