Selangor Umno deputy chairman Noh Omar said in Sabak Bernam today the state government is power crazy for trying to amend the constitution to restore the menteri besar’s power of appointing three executive officers.

He said Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim knows that he could not do it as it needs a two-third majority vote in the state assembly, the sultan's consent and approval from the Conference of Rulers.

In Shah Alam, new Selangor opposition leader Mohamed Satim Diman said the people could evaluate the state government led by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).

He said the Selangor government is still protesting the appointment of Mohd Khusrin Munawi as state secretary although it was done according to state and federal laws.

“They are still questioning the appointment despite the sultan of Selangor asking that it should not be politicised and sensationalised as it can confuse the people.”

Satim reminded the Selangor government not to destroy the monarchy, administration and legal systems by creating negative perception of the institutions.

“It also shows that the Selangor government has ill feelings toward civil servants," he said in a statement today.
