Four-term Sekinchan state assemblyperson Ng Suee Lim has been elected by the Selangor legislative assembly as the new speaker.

His deputy will be two-term Paya Jaras assemblyperson Mohd Khairuddin Othman, a former PAS man who joined PKR before the 14th general election.

Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari nominated Lim for the position and it was seconded by Bandar Baru Klang assemblyperson Teng Chang Khim.
