Even MCA's Chew Mei Fun who was defeated in the Kajang by-election by PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail is now a deputy minister, so why isn't the latter the Selangor Menteri Besar yet?

 

This was a question posed by Utusan Malaysia assistant editor Zulkefli Hamzah in an opinion piece today.

 

Writing in the Sunday edition of the Umno-owned newspaper, Mingguan Malaysia , Zulkefli said the Kajang by-election, dubbed the "Kajang Move" was intended to replace Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim ( right ).

 

However, three months on, nothing had materialised, he said.

 

Zulkefli mocked PKR's inability to proceed with the "Kajang Move" despite touting it to Kajang voters.

 

"So, what is stopping PKR and the opposition coalition from making Wan Azizah menteri besar to replace Abdul Khalid?" he said.

 

Zulkefli queried if the reason was because Wan Azizah's capabilities could not match Abdul Khalid.

 

Yesterday, PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim said there was an "understanding" about Abdul Khalid's position but said the party will not rush in replacing him.

 

Abdul Khalid has adamantly refused to step down as menteri besar despite being defeated for the Kuala Selangor PKR chief contest.

 

He is also trailing rival Azmin Ali in the PKR deputy president race.

 

Abdul Khalid had said his position as menteri besar will only be decided by his capability to serve and will not depend on his status in PKR.
