SELANGOR Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari today confirmed rumours that certain state executive councillors have started to pack up and vacate their offices.

He said it was a common practice especially at the end of a term before state elections are held.

“I used to do the same… when we wanted to dissolve the state assembly, we also packed up. After this, their (exco) duty is to carry out what has been planned and there can be no new policies implemented.

“Everyone will be busy with the elections and go to the ground,” Amirudin said at the state sacrificial animal contribution ceremony for Hari Raya Haji today.

He said he was waiting for the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah to grant him an audience to determine the dissolution date for the Selangor legislative assembly, adding the state government only has 23 days from today to do so.

Selangor is among the six states that will hold elections this year. The rest are Negri Sembilan, Penang, Terengganu, Kelantan and Kedah. – Bernama, June 3, 2023.
