PAS Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad has questioned the BN’s motive in throwing its unconditional support for Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim.
Khalid asked whether this support vindicates Khalid Ibrahim’s critics who had claimed that BN is comfortable under his leadership because they were able to get whatever they wanted from him.
PAS Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad has questioned the BN’s motive in throwing its unconditional support for Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim.
Khalid asked whether this support vindicates Khalid Ibrahim’s critics who had claimed that BN is comfortable under his leadership because they were able to get whatever they wanted from him.
“People still remember the party whose members would infamously ask ‘what would I get?’ when people approach them for aid and approval (letters).
“Surely, many will assume that there must be some secret agreement between the BN and Khalid Ibrahim for him to enjoy such unwavering support,” the PAS central committee member told a press conference today.
On Monday, BN deputy chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin had reiterated his concern that the ongoing crisis could jeopardise the Langat 2 water treatment plant project and gave Khalid Ibrahim the coalition’s “unconditional support”.
“If you ask how we will benefit by supporting him (Khalid Ibrahim), we ourselves do not know how we will gain,” Bernama quoted him as saying.
To a question, Khalid Samad (right) said he is unconvinced that the water treatment plant is BN’s only reason for backing the incumbent menteri besar.
On another matter, Khalid Samad said Khalid Ibrahim’s lawyers have agreed to provide him with a briefing in response to the allegations of a dubious out-of-court settlement for a Bank Islam loan.
The meeting will take place before PAS’ meeting on Sunday on the ongoing Selangor menteri besar crisis, but will be held on condition the discussion should remain secret.
Khalid Samad said he is satisfied with the arrangements thus far, and hence would not be issuing a statement on the matter at today’s press conference as originally scheduled.
