FMT:
It’s settled, Anwar says on Selangor MB’s post
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says the question of who will be appointed the next menteri besar has been resolved.
Last month, PKR president Anwar Ibrahim said Amirudin Shari will remain the menteri besar of Selangor if Pakatan Harapan retains the state in the Aug 12 state election.
KLANG: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says the question of who will be appointed the next Selangor menteri besar has been resolved.
“Everything is settled,” he told reporters at Masjid Jamek Ar-Rahimiah, Klang after performing Friday prayers here today.
Previously, there were rumours that Amirudin Shari would not be appointed as the menteri besar for a second term.
FMT quoted an anonymous PKR leader as saying that although Amirudin, who successfully defended his Sungai Tua seat, performed well as menteri besar, the Selangor Pakatan Harapan chief failed to gain the support of Malay voters.
Amirudin was first appointed to the top state post in 2018 after PH retained the state in the 14th general election.
Last month, Anwar said Amirudin will remain the menteri besar if PH retains the state in the Aug 12 state election.
It is understood that the new menteri besar will be sworn in tomorrow.
Asked about a purported “movement” to topple the Perak government, Anwar said that problem has also been resolved.
Yesterday, Perak menteri besar Saarani Mohamad claimed that there was a plot to topple the state unity government involving four government assemblymen.
However, he said all 33 government assemblymen have since pledged to support his administration.
The state Umno chief claimed that those behind the plot were unhappy about Perikatan Nasional’s failure to win all six states in the Aug 12 elections.
This is not the first time that Saarani had claimed that there was a movement to topple the state government.
In May, he dismissed speculation of a move to topple his administration following a purported meeting between assemblymen from the unity government and a PAS leader.
Saarani said any effort to topple the state government would be “stupid” as the forced by-elections will most certainly result in Barisan Nasional-PH winning again.
The Perak state assembly has 59 seats. During the general election last year, PN won 26 seats, followed by PH (24) and BN (nine). BN later decided to form the state government with PH.
