JOHOR BAHRU – It was quiet outside the official residence of the Johor Menteri Besar at Jalan Hassan Al-Attas.

The tables and chairs laid out for the media practitioners throughout the Johor election campaign have been kept partially.
An officer told the media that there will be no news conference after the appointment of the new Johor Menteri Besar (MB) who will be sworn-in at 3.00 pm today.
According to him, UMNO will only issue a media statement after the swearing-in ce
Speculations on the new Johor MB will be answered after the individual takes his oath at Istana Johor this evening.
Rumours have been circulating since yesterday after the former Menteri Besar of Johor who had been publicised as the new MB if Barisan Nasional (BN) stated his support for a younger person to lead Johor.
Meanwhile, Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi had been rumoured as the 19th Menteri Besar of Johor, replacing Hasni.
Onn Hafiz, 44, won the Machap state assembly in the Johor state election last Saturday. He was the former state Chairman of Tourism, Youth and Sports.
