KLANG – The Election Commission (EC) will be notified about the vacancy for the Pelangai state seat in Pahang soon, following the death of incumbent Datuk Seri Johari Harun in yesterday’s plane crash in Bandar Elmina, Shah Alam.

Pahang Speaker Datuk Seri Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin said it was best for the state assembly to help with the funeral arrangements for Johari before dealing with any other matters.

“Let’s just settle the funeral arrangements for the deceased first,” he told reporters when met at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital here last night.

Johari, 53, who was also Pahang’s executive councillor for local government, housing, environment and green technology, was one of the 10 people who perished when the Beechcraft aircraft Model 390 (Premier 1) crashed on the highway near Bandar Elmina.

Sharkar said prior to the incident, Johari had attended a meeting with Pahang Chief Minister Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail in Langkawi, Kedah. – Bernama, August 18, 2023
