SHAH ALAM, June 6 — The action of former Selangor menteri besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali in declaring June 19 as the date for the state assembly’s dissolution has been described as rude.
Selangor Keadilan leadership council managing secretary Saifuddin Shafi Muhammad said Azmin’s remark during a political speech on Sunday has disrespected the norms of the state government’s management procedures.
Saifuddin said Azmin’s statement gave an impression that the state Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman is greedy to the point of ignoring convention that ought to be adhered to.
“I urge all quarters to remain open-hearted, patient and not to drag any institutions into their respective political schemes,” he said in a statement yesterday.
“Don’t tarnish Selangor’s stability and unity with your unbridled enthusiasm.”
Regardless, Saifuddin said Selangor Pakatan Harapan is prepared to defend the state, and expressed confidence in the excellent track record of state menteri besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari throughout the current term.

On Sunday night, during his speech at PN’s campaign programme in Tanjong Karang, Azmin declared that Selangor would dissolve its legislative assembly on June 19.
It comes even before Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj has given his consent for the dissolution.
Previously, it was reported that Amirudin is expected to seek an audience with the state ruler either in the third or fourth week of this month to seek consent to dissolve the assembly.
