Selangor's opposition is disappointed that three out of four of its motions have been rejected for debate in the state assembly today.
Opposition leader Shamsuddin Lias (Umno-Sg Burong) said among these were motions to debate the power of the Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (Jais) and the use of 'Allah' by non-Muslims.
"I am truly disappointed because the issue needs to be raised for the good of the peope, and because of the polemics in the media," he said when met at the Dewan Negeri lobby today.
The issue of Jais's powers has been a prickly one, with the law implying it is under the purview of the sultan.
However BN leaders continue to blame the Pakatan state government for both allowing Jais to act against non-Muslims on the one hand, and for not supporting the state ban on 'Allah' on the other.
Elsewhere at the state assembly today, newly elected Kajang assemblyperson Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail was sworn in to the Dewan before speaker Hannah Yeoh.
The oath-taking took place at 10am in the presence of Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim state secretary Mohammed Khusrin Munawi.
