SHAH ALAM, Aug 17 — The state palace will make the announcement on the appointment of the Menteri Besar, said Selangor Pakatan Harapan chairman Dato' Seri Amirudin Shari.
The audience with the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj 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 earlier today.
Asked whether the appointment of the new Menteri Besar was discussed, Amirudin said he is not at liberty to disclose everything.
He added that questions on the Menteri Besar candidate list should be directed to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, as he submitted the list.
In the 15th Selangor State Election on Saturday (August 12), the Harapan and Barisan Nasional (BN) alliance won 34 seats while Perikatan Nasional took 22 seats.
During the election campaign, Anwar had named Amirudin as the Menteri Besar candidate should Harapan-BN win the polls.
