Embattled Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim cancelled his monthly meeting with civil servants this morning following Pakatan Rakyat's unanimous decision yesterday to replace him with PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
The Selangor state government monthly assembly, which was supposed to be held at the Dewan Jubli Perak in Shah Alam at 8am this morning, was called off at the last minute by the MB's office which made the announcement at 7.40am.
"The monthly assembly programme which was scheduled for Monday, August 18, organised by the Selangor Foundation has been cancelled over unavoidable reasons.
"We apologise for the inconveniences," the press secretariat said in an email this morning.
The PAS central committee had agreed yesterday to remove Khalid as MB and said it wanted to remain in the Pakatan Rakyat coalition. It also proposed an alternative candidate, Mohamed Azmin Ali, besides Dr Wan Azizah.
Later in the evening, the opposition coalition decided that only Dr Wan Azizah's name was to be sent to the Palace after Azmin, who is also PKR deputy president, rejected the proposal from PAS to nominate him as MB.
