Khalid seeks to clear his name

He'll consider joining another party, but only after addressing PKR's allegations against him.

SHAH ALAM: Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim intends to address the various accusations that PKR has levelled at him before deciding which party he should join.

“I’ll consider joining another party,” he said, “but before that I will cleanse myself from the accusations made by PKR.”

He was speaking to reporters after meeting the Sultan of Selangor to brief him on the latest political developments in the state.

He said there had been no indication so far of a move to take a no-confidence vote against him.

Khalid also said the Selangor Constitution only requires four people to form the State Executive Council and he was confident that the four PAS members in the current council would remain.

He said the other excos could remain if they accept his leadership, but “if they don’t want to work with me, they can resign.”

Khalid was sacked from PKR on Saturday under multiple allegations of misconduct. The Sultan today gave his approval for him to continue as Menteri Besar.
