Amid claims that the current Selangor administration is on tenterhooks, Menteri Besar Azmin Ali was greeted by scores of supporters brandishing placards at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) this afternoon.
Among those present were PAS' two state exco members Zaidy Abdul Talib and Ahmad Yunus Hairi as well as deputy speaker Shafie Ngah, who is also the state PAS deputy commissioner II.
However, Selangor PAS commissioner Iskandar Samad, who is also an exco member, was not present at the event, which was organised by the backbenchers.
“The state assembly has not been dissolved, right?” the menteri besar joked when greeted by the deputy speaker.
Azmin also dismissed Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's speculation that the state government would fall because PAS was severing its ties with PKR.
"Clearly, the general election is close, and yet Umno's wishful thinking is far from reality.
"Umno thought that by bullying the state government, we will face problems, but today the Selangor government is so strong," Azmin told reporters.
