SHAH ALAM, Jan 6 — Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad urged the state government today to move forward and accept Datuk Mohd Khusrin Munawi as the state’s new secretary, and reminded it of the stakes if it chose to prolong the row.

According to Khalid, Khusrin’s appointment was an intentional attempt to pit the state government against the Sultan.

“I urge the state government to choose their fight, to choose their battle,” said Khalid.

The PAS lawmaker added that the administration of Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim has already done what it could to argue that Khusrin was not the state’s choice.

“The point has been made, Khusrin is not the best man for the job, and we have made our objection clear,” Khalid told a press conference here.

“When the administration starts to face problem, fails to perform we will know the cause is BN’s choice of [state secretary] to jeopardise the Selangor government,” he added.- Malaysian Insider
