PERIKATAN Nasional elected representatives were allegedly left out of a Selangor Federal Development Action Council meeting chaired by Mohamed Azmin Ali on Monday.

State Umno chief Noh Omar said the senior minister had invited former Pakatan Harapan allies, including Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari, but left out his PN colleagues.

“It is astonishing and surprising when the Selangor PN assemblymen and MPs were not invited to the meeting, and instead, the PH menteri besar was invited.

“Has the Selangor menteri besar now joined the PN government, or does Azmin still think he is the menteri besar from PH?” said Noh in a Facebook post.

Azmin on Monday tweeted about the meeting, said to be a platform for cooperation among opposition-led states and the federal government.

The international trade and industry minister said such cooperation is crucial ensure a comprehensive development plan for the people.

Noh reminded Azmin not to forget PN lawmakers, including those from Umno, when holding future meetings.

“No matter what, please do invite PN elected representatives from Umno and PAS. Muafakat Nasional will be able to help strengthen the position of PN in Selangor.”

PKR remains the largest party in Selangor with 17 seats, after sacking Lembah Jaya rep Haniza Talha recently.

Of Selangor’s 56 seats, DAP holds 16, Amanah (8), Barisan Nasional (5), Bersatu (5), PAS (1) and independents (4). – July 3, 2020.
