Kuala Perlis assemblyman Abu Bakar Hamzah, 57, was sworn in as Perlis’s 12th Menteri Besar at Istana Arau on December 28 before Raja of Perlis Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail. A Bersatu leader and state party chief, he replaces Mohd Shukri Ramli, who resigned on December 25 citing health reasons.
