The proposed RM9.65 billion water deal between the Selangor and the federal governments could well be "illegal" as Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim no longer has any "legality" to govern the state, an MP said today.

DAP’s Klang MP Charles Santiago said based on the Perak crisis of 2009, Khalid has lost the legality to govern based on the fact that he no longer commands a majority in the state assembly.
