Party president Tan Sri S.A. Vigneswaran confirmed this when contacted by Bernama, saying that the position of treasurer-general has now been taken over by Segambut division chief Datuk N. Sivakumar.
"All the individuals appointed will play crucial roles in empowering the party, effective yesterday until the next party elections, which are expected in 2027," he said.
