SHAH ALAM, June 23 — Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim denied today his government is in crisis, saying a spate of conflicts between the PKR-led state administration and leaders from the party were due to "normal" differences of opinion in politics.

"There is none (no crisis)...the most important thing is to do things openly.

"Everything has already been said to the media...it is normal in politics to have a difference of opinion," the Selangor Mentri Besar told reporters here.

The Bandar Tun Razak MP's remarks come following PKR chief strategist Rafizi Ramli’s resignation as chief executive of the Selangor Economic Advisor’s Office as well as recent calls from within PKR for the Khalid's political secretary Faekah Husin to leave her post.

The Ijok assemblyman said that Pakatan Rakyat (PR) should instead focus on winning the next general election.

"Rafizi wants to focus on becoming a parliamentarian. He wants to act independently. If he is working for the Selangor economic advisor's office how can he act independently," said Khalid.
