SHAH ALAM, 15 July: The Central PAS has yet to make any decision regarding Tan Sri Abdul Khalid’s position as Chief Minister of Selangor, which has received much pressure by some quarters recently.
The Executive Councillor in charge of Education, Higher Learning and Human Capital Development, Dr Halimah Ali, said that the Selangor PAS is still waiting for the decision from the top leaders of the party on the matter.
She said that the existing Selangor government is still functioning as usual despite various speculations regarding Abdul Khalid’s position.
“We leave it to the Central PAS to make a decision, but the existing Selangor government is still functioning normally, there may be a little storm in the teacup, but it is normal.
“Central PAS has called the Selangor Liaison Body to hear the explanation on this matter and they are in the process of a decision,” she said when commenting on PAS’ stand regarding the highest leadership position in the state.
Abdul Khalid’s position as Chief Minister is now under pressure from certain quarters when there was an open call for the Assemblyman of Port Klang to step down from his position.
The latest is that Abdul Khalid allegedly will join the Islamic party after his photograph of having a discussion with the PAS President, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, was uploaded on his Facebook page.
However, this was denied by Abdul Khalid and he said that he also took pictures with several leaders from various parties, including the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who is also the Chairman of Barisan Nasional (BN).
