Perak completes first phase of traditional village chief appointments
IPOH: The Perak government has finalised the appointment of 658 out of 828 traditional village chiefs in the first phase, with the remaining 170 set to receive their letters soon. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad stated that the second phase will proceed after reviewing grassroots feedback and addressing on-ground changes. Saarani highlighted past concerns, including village chiefs not residing in their assigned communities, as well as age and health factors. 'These criteria ensure effective leadership. Village chiefs can serve only until age 65 and will not be reappointed beyond that. 'Health is also a priority—if a chief faces serious medical issues, replacements will be made in phase two,' he said during a press conference after launching the Perak Orang Asli Community Symposium 2025. The selection process involved consultations under the Unity Government Committee, incorporating new candidates, reappointments, and increased representation for women and youth. Separately, Saarani reaffirmed the state's commitment to Orang Asli welfare, citing initiatives like the Kelah Sanctuary Project in Royal Belum, which boosts tourism and local economies. Other efforts include solar system installations in Kampung Sungai Kejar and plans for an Orang Asli Cultural Village in Pos Raya.

Perak appoints 658 village chiefs, more to come as age limits and political shifts delay final appointments
IPOH, July 2 — Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad announced that a total of 658 village chiefs have been appointed across the state in the first phase, which began on June 1. Saarani said that the remaining 170 vacant village chief positions will be filled in the upcoming second phase. 'The delay in the appointment was due to several factors including age limitations and internal changes within political parties. 'We only appoint those aged 65 and below. Anyone above that age needs to be replaced,' he said. He told this to reporters when asked to comment on the village chief appointment's status after officiating the Symposium Ceremony of the Perak Orang Asli Community at the Perak Darul Ridzuan Building's banquet hall. Saarani explained that party leadership changes, particularly at the grassroots level, have also influenced the appointment process. 'For example, in PKR, after branch-level elections, there were changes in the office bearers at the grassroots level, so they made some adjustments,' he added. On political representation, Saarani clarified that there is no fixed quota system. He said all appointments come through recommendations by component parties of the Unity Government, which includes representatives from Umno, Amanah, PKR and DAP. 'This isn't about giving out positions. A village head must live in the village they lead, because they are our last line of government representation at the grassroots level,' he said. He also said that one of the criteria for the appointment is that the village heads must be permanent residents of the villages they serve, stressing the importance of community connection and direct service. Saarani also confirmed that individuals in their 30s, as well as female representation, are present in the new lineup.
