GOMBAK, Oct 11 — Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari will seek an audience with Sultan Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj today to seek consent on the state administration’s decision to not dissolve the state legislative assembly.
He said that Selangor would maintain its position as the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition does not want to take any chances due to concerns over the occurrence of floods.
“Tomorrow (today) I will seek an audience with His Royal Highness and whatever decision will be finalised after the meet,” he said when met at the Jelajah Iltizam Selangor Penyayang canival in Selayang Baru, here last night.
Amirudin, who is also Selangor PH chairman, said that the Opposition coalition does not want to dismiss the risks of potential flooding and wants to focus on managing the monsoon season.
“I trust that His Royal Highness is concerned about the people and as discussed before, the decision made by the state would take into account His Royal Highness’s views and advice,” he said.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced the dissolution of Parliament that paves the way for the 15th General Election.
On October 5, the PH Presidential Council decided that the state governments of Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Penang would not be dissolved this year.
