Dr Mahathir: Accept Sultan’s choice for Menteri Besar

Former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said all parties need to accept the choice of Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah of Selangor for the post of Menteri Besar – whoever that person may be. 

Mahathir said this was to avoid a prolonged political crisis in the state. 

He said that should the Selangor Legislative Assembly decide to propose and pass a motion of no confidence against the new Menteri Besar, scheduled to be sworn in tomorrow morning, Selangor would remain in a political dilemma, reports Bernama

The Sultan’s private secretary Mohamad Munir Bani said the name of the new MB would be announced today.
