Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim has brushed aside rumours that he will resign today as a "waste of time".

"This (resignation rumours) is not true. I just came out of a meeting and now I am going to enter another meeting.

"Nevermind, these people are just wasting their time," he said cynically after the Selangor economic planning meeting at Bangunan Darul Ehsan.

Khalid declined to elaborate and just laughed when surrounded by reporters who had been stationed there since 9am.

He broke out into chuckles further when asked if the rumours were circulated by his contenders in the party.

"It's alright. We can't lie during Ramadan," he said, before getting in his car in front of the building.

Iskandar denies he'll become MB

Meanwhile, Selangor executive council member and state PAS commissioner Iskandar Ab Samad, who was accompanying Khalid denied that he will be assuming the MB post.

"This is absolutely incorrect. This speculation is untrue," Iskandar ( left ) said briefly before departing.

Rumours of Khalid's purported resignation today started circulating on social media and instant messaging application Whatsapp since late last night.

The message, which claimed that Khalid will have an audience with Selangor's Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah on July 7 to submit his resignation letter, was attributed to "media sources".

Another message claiming that Khalid has resigned was attributed to national news agency Bernama , but this was denied by the agency.

The MB's office, when contacted, also denied that Khalid will have an audience with the sultan in order to resign today.
