Opposition leader queries Wan Azizah’s absence

Kajang Assemblywoman alleged that Opposition Leader skipped Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meetings.

SHAH ALAM: Selangor opposition leader, Shamsudin Lias, was wondering what Kajang assemblywoman Wan Azizah Wan Ismail was doing abroad when the State Assembly was in session and her constituency has been hit by flash floods.

“She has missed two days of the Assembly sitting,” said Shamsudin who is Sungai Burong Assemblyman.

Wan Azizah, however, made it to the State Assembly in the evening on Wednesday. She explained that she had informed the House that she would be absent.

“I gave notice of my absence,” she said. “I did not skip the Assembly sessions deliberately.”

The PKR president, in turn, alleged that Shamsudin skipped Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meetings.

Earlier, when debating Selangor’s Budget 2015, Wan Azizah called for the formation of a committee chaired by Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali to tackle the perennial floods in the state.
