State polls: Selangor MB to seek audience before Sultan leaves for haj

SHAH ALAM, June 15 — Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Amirudin Shari will seek an audience with the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj for consent to dissolve the state legislative assembly before His Royal Highness leaves for the haj pilgrimage.

Amirudin, however, said that he is waiting for an appropriate date to do so.

“If I can’t make it (audience), then I will go to Madinah (to seek consent), but I will try to avoid that situation, meaning I will try to seek an audience before His Royal Highness leaves for the Holy Land,” he told the media after attending the Selangor Mobility forum, here, today.

Sultan Sharafuddin and Tengku Permaisuri Selangor Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin are scheduled to leave for Saudi Arabia next week to perform the haj.

The dissolution of the Selangor legislative assembly is to pave the way for the state election to be held.

In another development, Amirudin, who is also Selangor Pakatan Harapan (Harapan) chairman, said negotiations for three more state seats between Harapan and Barisan Nasional will be held either today or tomorrow.

Without naming the seats concerned, Amirudin said the talks would provide fair opportunities to all political partners, with winning strategy being the primary factor.

“Every party must be big-hearted enough to view (the importance of) winnability, to ensure a simple or a comfortable majority win,” he said.
