Palace to announce Selangor MB appointment - Amirudin

 

The announcement on the appointment of the Selangor menteri besar will be made by the state palace, said Selangor Pakatan Harapan chairperson Amirudin Shari.

He said his audience with Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah this afternoon was to brief His Royal Highness on current developments in the state.

“I had an audience with Tuanku as usual, enquiring about his health and discussing developments on the state’s economic achievements,” he told reporters in front of Istana Bukit Kayangan in Shah Alam today.

Asked whether the appointment of the new menteri besar was discussed, Amirudin (above) said he was not at liberty to disclose everything.

He also said questions on the menteri besar candidate list should be directed to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim because the list was submitted by him.

In the Selangor state election last Saturday, the Harapan-BN alliance won 34 seats while Perikatan Nasional took 22.

During the election campaign, Anwar named Amirudin as the menteri besar candidate should Harapan-BN win the polls.
