Amanah and Ronnie Liu in spat now over pig farming and political misfortunes
SELANGOR Amanah has strongly rejected former Sungai Pelek assemblyman Ronnie Liu Tian Khiew’s claim that the party will “disappear” in the next election, calling it baseless and politically motivated.
Communications director Abbaes Salimi Azmi said linking Amanah’s future to pig farming issues was misleading, noting the Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah had already ordered all pig farming activities halted due to pollution and health concerns, including African swine fever risks.
“Liu should understand this issue has received the attention of His Royal Highness the Selangor Sultan,” he said in a statement on Saturday (May 30).
Therefore, he said, the Selangor Sultan’s decree is appropriate to the current situation and must be obeyed by all parties without being politicised.
“Amanah Selangor also considers Liu’s statement unethical, as he is said not to understand the concept of the Rukun Negara as well as the state and federal administrative system,” he said.
Simultaneously, the party described the accusations against Selangor Agriculture and Infrastructure Exco Datuk Ir Izham Hashim as excessive and baseless.
“Amanah Selangor also demands Ronnie Liu withdraw the statement and make an open apology. If not, we will not hesitate to take legal action,” he stressed.
In a Facebook post, Liu said Amanah is expected to be wiped out in Selangor over the pig farming controversy.
“Amanah may disappear in Selangor in the coming election because of him (Izham),” Liu said in a Facebook post.
Izham, who holds the Agriculture, Infrastructure and Public Amenities portfolio and serves as Selangor Amanah chairman, has been directly blamed for the issue by Liu.
“The proposal to shut down local pig farming came from him. The suggestion to relocate pig farms to Bukit Tagar also originated from him. Even the directive to move the pigs came from him,” Liu claimed. — May 30, 2026
