New Sabah Governor expected to be named on Dec 17

Tun Juhar Mahiruddin is Sabah’s longest-serving Yang di-Pertua Negeri, having served since 2011.

KOTA KINABALU : –  Sabah could have a new governor after Juhar Mahiruddin ends his current term at the end of the month.

A ceremony to hand over the appointment letter for the Sabah governorship is scheduled to take place at Istana Negara on Tuesday (Dec 17), the Oriental Daily News reported.
