SHAH ALAM - The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah today advises the Selangor state government to immediately resolve issues that affect the people, like flood mitigation projects and the redevelopment of the Shah Alam Sports Complex, before dissolving the state assembly.
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the Sultan of Selangor issued the decree during his regular session to discuss the ecnomic development of the state.
"The Sultan advised us (state government) to expedite whatever that needs to be done, before dissolving the state assembly.
"During the audience there was no decree from his majesty to dissolve the state assembly ahead of the 15th General Election (GE15) and we will stick to our plan to not dissolve the assembly before next year,” he told reporters when met at the main entrance of Istana Bukit Kayangan, here today, after his audience that lasted for about two years.
Media reports claimed that Amirudin was scheduled to have an audience with Sultan Sharafuddin today to submit the state government’s decision to not dissolve the state assembly although Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob had announced the dissolution of Parliament yesterday.
Amirudin said the decision to not dissolve the state assembly was already discussed with the Sultan about three months ago and the indication of when the assembly will be dissolved.
"The Sultan advised me to discuss the proposal, to hold the state election next year, with various parties involved so as to have an efficient election process and not held together with the General election,” he said.
Amirudin added that the tabling of the 2023 State Budget and the state assembly scheduled from Oct 28 to Nov 10, is expected to be postponed, and probably held after the GE15, so as to make way for the GE15.
Speaking of Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) preparations and choice of candidates for the coming GE15, Amirudin who is also Selangor PH chairman said most of the candidates will be incumbents, except for the Ampang and Gombak Parliamentary seats.
"Last night we had discussions on candidates for the GE15, we will also promote young and vibrant new faces to add variation to the list as well as strengthen PKR and PH’s representation,” he said.- BERNAMA
