PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has congratulated the newly-appointed Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali and reminded him to fulfil the responsibilities entrusted in him and do not abuse his powers.

"I hope Azmin will do his job with full trust and will not abuse his powers and Selangor's assets," Hadi is quoted by Berita Harian today as saying in Kuala Terengganu.

PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali described Azmin's appointment as the end to problems faced by Pakatan Rakyat over the Selangor hot seat.

Mustafa said there were no issues rising from  Azmin's appointment to the post by Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, for “we will support what is decided by the palace”.

"All PAS wings, including the Dewan Ulama, agrees. Prior to the Aug 17 meeting, we agreed to forward two names, namely PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and Azmin. Hence, there is no need for another meeting," Berita Harian quoted him as saying in Pengkalan Kubor.

PAS vice-president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man ( left ) called on all parties to abide by the sultan's decision and he expressed hope that Azmin could lead the state well.

Asked about the the fate of the two PAS assemblypersons who backed Wan Azizah for the post of Selangor menteri besar, Mustafa said the disciplinary committee was investigating the matter and that he would call them soon.

"At present, there is no action taken yet. After this I will call them. Whether it is late or not,, it is just the people's perception," he said.

The two, Hulu Klang assemblyperson Saari Sungib and Morib assemblyperson Hasnul Baharuddin, went against the party's orders in signing statutory declarations in support of Wan Azizah.
