Selangor’s agriculture modernisation, natural resources and entrepreneurial development state chairperson Yaakob Sapari is one busy executive councillor.

Between meetings, appointments and a 15-minute lunch time, the soft-spoken PKR veteran still managed a smile when meeting various individuals in his humble 14th-floor office in the state building in Shah Alam.

Sandwiched between other appointments, Yaakob on the outset apologised to Malaysiakini for not being informative enough as he only knew one third of his portfolio.
