SHAH ALAM, 26 JULY: Chief Minister, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim thanked the PAS President, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang for showing support and trust in him to continue leading the Selangor Government’s administration till the end of the term.

Previously, Abdul Khalid said, after some observation and researched done personally by himself, with some from PAS and non party members, he found that the majority of Selangor citizens still agrees to back Abdul Khalid as Chief Minister. However, it also depends on the Selangor Sultan’s advise.

He said, it cannot be denied that the excellent track record shown by Abdul Khalid, in leading Selangor to better prospects which includes defending and winning Selangor in the previous 13th General Election. It is still great work despites some disagreement within Pakatan Rakyat.
