Selangor assembly: Selat Klang rep moved out of opposition bloc

Selat Klang state assemblyperson Abdul Rashid Asari has been moved out of the opposition bloc in the Selangor state legislative assembly.

Assembly speaker Lau Weng San said, for the time being, Abdul Rashid has been placed between the opposition and government blocs, considering his current status of not holding membership in any party.

“This also takes into account his seniority as a second-term assemblyperson and his seniority from having once held a position in the government as a state executive council member,” Lau said at a meeting of the 15th Selangor state assembly today.

He made this decision after Opposition Leader Mohamed Azmin Ali rose to seek advice on the matter to ensure the harmony and smoothness of the meeting.

Previously, Abdul Rashid expressed his support for the leadership of Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari.

Azmin, who is also the Selangor Perikatan Nasional chairperson, submitted a notice to Lau informing him that Abdul Rashid had ceased to be a member of Bersatu and that the seat should be declared vacant.
