DAP exco members may quit state cabinet
DAP’s three state executive councillors in Selangor may collectively tender their resignation following the sacking of Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim by PKR.
DAP’s three state executive councillors in Selangor may collectively tender their resignation following the sacking of Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim by PKR.
According to Selangor DAP chief Tony Pua, DAP will discuss this matter at its central executive committee (CEC) meeting tomorrow.
"After being expelled, we no longer recognise Khalid's MB status. We will not cooperate with a non-PR (Pakatan Rakyat) MB," he said when contacted by Malaysiakini.
Aside from Khalid, the state executive council has 10 members from the Pakatan coalition - PAS has four, while PKR and DAP have three each.
DAP exco members are Ean Yong Hian Wah, V Ganabatirau and senior exco member Teng Chang Khim.
There is a possibility that Khalid may advise the sultan to dissolve the state assembly to pave way for fresh polls.
Pua said the CEC will also discuss this as well.
"We are now closer to a possible snap poll despite that we try our best to avoid it," he said.
