The PKR disciplinary board has no purview over how the Selangor mentri besar administers the state, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim has said in his reply to the show-cause letter the party slapped on him for refusing to relinquish his post.
In his official response that labelled the show-cause action against him as “defective” yesterday, Khalid pointed out that the board was not authorised to demand explanations over five issues pertaining to his administration.
“The disciplinary board is only empowered to hear matters relating to misconduct relating to party matters and not matters pertaining to, and especially not how Selangor is administered.
“As such, it is illogical for the disciplinary board to demand that I explain the five issues in such short notice,” Khalid said.
In the show-cause issued against him, Khalid was directed to explain his Bank Islam debt settlement deal, his role and decisions in Selangor’s water utility restructuring, the MB’s new allowance, the hike in business licence fees in the state and the controversial Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex).
The party also insisted that Khalid must respond by August 9, one day ahead of a crucial Pakatan Rakyat meeting to decide on his removal. - Malay Mail
