SHAH ALAM: Selangor Mentri Besar Amirudin Shari (pix) has denied a news portal’s report on Wednesday that the state administration is in turmoil and his leadership is under threat.
He said it was baseless of the report to suggest that cracks had appeared within the state government following his alleged failure to table amendments to a state enactment on unilateral religious conversion of minors.
“It is inaccurate reporting which does not reflect the actual situation because until today the Selangor administration remains united. In fact, I still chaired the exco and Selangor Economic Action Council (MTES) meetings.
“There are certain matters which we (Selangor administration) have differences of opinion but there are many other issues on which we are in agreement. It does not prevent us from remaining united,” he told reporters after the MTES meeting last night.
Meanwhile, Selangor Pakatan Harapan (PH) today pledged its full support for Amirudin to continue as the Mentri Besar and state PH chairman.
Selangor PH secretary Borhan Aman Shah said the coalition also strongly denied rumours that there were attempts to remove Ng as the Selangor Speaker.
“Our support and confidence are also directed towards the administration led by him (Amirudin) and his ability to lead Selangor to a higher level of progress for the benefit of the people in the state,” he said when reading out a statement endorsed by all four PH parties in Selangor after a meeting at the Mentri Besar’s official residence last night.
Among those who attended the meeting were Selangor Amanah chairman Izham Hashim, Selangor Bersatu chairman Datuk Abdul Rashid Asari and Selangor DAP chairman Gobind Singh Deo.
Borhan said the meeting did not touch on any issue regarding amendments to state enactments. — Bernama
