IPOH: Datuk Bandar Datuk Roshidi Hashim (pic) will complete his term as city mayor on July 23.

Roshidi, 54, said it was up to the Perak Govern­ment to decide whether it wanted to extend his tenure.

”It is also up to the people whether they feel I can continue to serve as mayor,” he told reporters after chairing a council meeting here yesterday.

”I am willing to accept whatever decision with an open heart,’’ he said.

Roshidi said he was proud to have served the Ipoh City Council alongside the local councillors and council employees.

”I will continue to serve the people if reappointed,” he added.

Roshidi was appointed by former Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin in July 2008 following the retirement of Datuk Mohamad Rafiai Moktar.

He was the council secretary from July 2006 and was also an Anti-Corruption Agency prosecution officer for 15 years.
