the five who resigned as councillors to contest in GE13.
Lee Shim Moi, Mohd Adram Musa, Mazwan Johar and Bryan Lai will take over the zones formerly under Eddie Ng, Mohd Shafie Ngah, Razaly Hassan and Lee Kee Hiong.
Ng won in the three-cornered fight for the Balakong state seat, Mohd Shafie won the Bangi state seat, Razaly wrested the Umno-stronghold Dusun Tua state seat while Lee won the Kuala Kubu
Baru state seat.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Ali Kair Abdul Ghafar will take over the zone formerly under S. T. Chandra Mohan, who was made a senator early this year.
S. Arutchelvan, who contested for the Semenyih state seat and lost, also tendered his resignation from the council last week.
It has yet to be decided who will take over his zone.
Council president Datuk Hasan Nawawi Abd Rahman said despite being short of six councillors, the council would not be affected.
“In 2008, we managed without councillors for about three months.
“Also, the five councillors will not only take over the zones but also sit in the committees that the previous councillors were in.
“We are awaiting instructions from the state government on how to fill the vacancies,” he said.
On another matter, he said the council would also study the possibility of neutering and spaying stray dogs to reduce the number of strays, as suggested by councillors.
