Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim has brushed off DAP's Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi's call for him to be sacked over the water crisis, saying Ooi is powerless to make such a demand.
"I think Ooi does not have power (to demand my sacking)," Khalid told a press conference in Klang when asked to respond to Ooi's outburston Facebook against him.
Asked whether Ooi's demand was justified, Khalid replied, "This is an issue of maturity and capability of a leader."
Khalid also declined to speculate whether Ooi's (left) open criticism was aimed at influencing his chances at the PKR party election where he is vying for the party deputy president's post.
"I don't want to link them (the two issues), if I do that it might end up with me slandering others instead," he said.
Khalid, who earlier personally met with village chiefs to hear out their problems in a meet-and-greet session, also dismissed claims that he was too occupied with such programmes instead of addressing the water crisis.
“Some people don’t understand management, what else can you do?
“You have to ask (instruct) your people to do it (water contingency plans), I use more than an hour to discuss about water.
“After that I have eight hours left (for other programmes),” he said.
Khalid also responded to PKR Wanita chief Zuraida Kamaruddin (right) who had declared she had a name that could replace the crisis-plagued menteri besar.
“I also have a name to replace YB Zuraida,” he laughingly shot back.
On his campaign in the PKR election, Khalid said he could only campaign during weekends or at night but has managed to cover almost all the states ahead of the May polls.
He added that he was satisfied about his level of support and chances in the election.
