KUANTAN, June 22 (Bernama) -- Pahang Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has a new leadership committee.

This follows the appointment of Deputy Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Fuziah Salleh as the State Leadership Council (MPN) chairman, and PKR Lipis Division chief Rizal Jamin as deputy chairman by PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on May 26.
