SHAH ALAM, Oct 19 — The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj, called on state assemblymen to mind their language, be civil to one another, and maintain decorum during the State Legislative Assembly sitting.
These were His Royal Highness' remarks when the new Assembly Speaker Lau Weng San paid a courtesy call on the Ruler at Istana Bukit Kayangan, Shah Alam, yesterday.
In a Facebook post, the Selangor Royal Office said during the meeting, Sultan Sharafuddin advised Lau to continue his predecessor's work and be neutral, firm, and fair in presiding over the assembly sitting.
His Royal Highness also commended and expressed his appreciation to the previous speakers from DAP, who were appointed since 2008 onwards, as they managed to control the situation during every session held.
Lau, who is also the former Banting state assemblyman, was appointed as Selangor State Assembly Speaker on September 19, replacing Ng Suee Lim.
