Selangor, the jewel in the crown for Pakatan Rakyat (PR), looks to be losing its lustre for the opposition coalition.
A row has broken out between Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and the DAP — two of the three components of the coalition — stemming from PKR vice-president Azmin Ali's call last Wednesday for some of his own colleagues to be kicked out of the state assembly. Azmin is opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's right-hand man in the PR alliance.
“Maybe it's time for the mentri besar to consider an exco reshuffle for the people to be served better,” he said. The exco refers to the state executive council or state Cabinet.
Some observers were not surprised by Azmin's action as it was well-known that the Bukit Antarabangsa lawmaker was unhappy with the state government line-up.
There was also talk that Azmin was eyeing the mentri besar's post because he felt that incumbent Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim did not have enough political experience. Khalid was a corporate leader before joining PKR.
At a press conference on Monday, Azmin refused to confirm or deny that he wanted to be the MB, telling reporters: “I have no response to that.”
He has latched on to unhappiness on the ground with the recent appointment of local councillors to push for a reshuffle in the state exco.
Reports said the appointment of several councillors to the Ampang Municipal Council and the Shah Alam City Council had irked many local leaders as they were not consulted over the selection.
In fact, a group of PKR members rallied at one of Anwar's ceramahs in Selangor, handing a memorandum to Azmin over the issue.
Khalid had already been summoned by top PKR leaders to discuss the unhappiness on the ground with the appointment of local councillors, according to the Star.
Temperatures were raised further on Monday in the state assembly with a shouting match between Azmin and Teresa Kok, an exco councillor.
