Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim today explained that state economic advisor Anwar Ibrahim's office does not influence him in making administrative decisions.
According to him, as the chief executive of the state, he was fully responsible for any decision he makes even if he had taken advice from the economic advisor’s office.
Khalid (left) equated this to decisions made by the prime minister despite taking advice from his own advisors.
"We have discussions from time to time and this is also done by the PM with his advisors. The decisions taken by his advisors are not necessarily followed by the PM," he said in the state assembly today.
"I will be surprised if the PM’s decisions are made together with his advisors. It’s better that we always discuss and that the decision is the responsibility of the executive. I cannot say that a decision is made by my advisor," he added.
