I reminded them that this is not a honeymoon period, the mandate given by the people needs to be translated into efficient service and continue the Maju Johor 2030 agenda.

Onn Hafiz emphasized that the appointments are a significant trust placed in them to serve the people of Johor. He cautioned against a "honeymoon period," urging the council to translate the public's mandate into efficient service and to advance the "Maju Johor 2030" agenda. "We need to work more focused and effectively to build a developed and prosperous Johor," he stated, vowing that the state government would champion all ethnic groups: Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Orang Asli, asserting, "We are all Johoreans."

The newly appointed exco members have completed their swearing-in ceremony before the acting Sultan of Johor, Tunku Mahkota Ismail, at Istana Bukit Serene. Notably, K. Raven Kumar, Aznan Tamin, Datuk Zahari Sarip, and Khairunnisa Ismail were not included in the new lineup. This reshuffle follows Onn Hafiz's own reappointment as Menteri Besar for a second consecutive term after Barisan Nasional secured a decisive victory, winning 48 out of 56 state assembly seats.
