The Selangor government does not intend to dissolve its state assembly if the 15th general election (GE15) is held anytime soon, said Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari.
“Following talks I've had with several other Pakatan Harapan menteri besar, we unanimously feel that it is better and more effective if this administration completes its full term, namely between April and May next year.
“However, the matter still depends on the consent of Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah,” he told reporters after launching the Selangor Smart Road Asset Management System at Bangunan Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah today.
Amiruddin, who is also Selangor Harapan chairperson, said this was because the two years of the Covid-19 pandemic had caused many of the state government's plans and projects to require a longer time to be completed.
Yesterday, Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun said the state would only dissolve its legislative assembly at the end of its term next year and that the matter had been discussed during the recent Meeting of the Conference of Rulers.
The GE14 in 2018 resulted in Negeri Sembilan, Penang and Selangor being ruled by Harapan while PAS formed the governments in Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah.
Also yesterday, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang issued a statement saying that the Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu legislative assemblies will not be dissolved until their terms expire.
