Barisan Nasional Appointees Resigned from DBKL Advisory Board Following Minister's Call for New Appointments

Seven political appointees serving as advisory board members at Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) resigned from their posts on July 12. These Barisan Nasional (BN) representatives were formally informed of the expectation to resign during a meeting with mayor Tan Sri Mhd Amin Nordin Abdul Aziz, where they received official letters.
Minister's Directive for New Board Composition

The resignations followed a directive from Federal Territories Minister Khalid Abdul Samad. He had publicly called for the resignation of DBKL advisory board members who were appointed under the previous BN administration. The minister suggested that Kuala Lumpur Members of Parliament should instead occupy these advisory roles.
Voluntary Resignation Process

The BN board members confirmed their resignations were voluntary. They were summoned to a meeting with the mayor where they received formal letters and subsequently signed them. Umno's Datuk Rizalman Mokhtar, one of the resigning members, stated that the process was conducted in a "simple ceremonial setting and in a good manner," and they were satisfied with the contents of the letters.
Background of Appointments and Terms

These BN board members were initially appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Their appointments were made based on the recommendation of the former federal territories minister, Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor. The appointed members were serving a two-year term that commenced in 2017. MIC's Datuk S. Rajah was the first to submit his resignation on July 5, preceding the collective resignations of the other six members.
