Amirudin to be dropped as Selangor MB?

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Rumours abound that Amirudin Shari will not be appointed as the menteri besar of Selangor for a second term after Pakatan Harapan failed to secure a two-thirds majority in the recent state polls.

A PKR leader, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said while Selangor PH chairman Amirudin, who retained his Sungai Tua seat, had performed well as menteri besar, he had failed to get the support of Malay voters.

The source said the name of Fahmi Ngah, who was elected as Seri Setia assemblyman on Saturday, was being bandied about to succeed Amirudin.

“Terengganu menteri besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar went missing when floods struck the state, but he was still backed by the electorate,” the source said, referring to Samsuri’s trip to New Zealand when floods struck the east coast in December. Samsuri later apologised for his absence.
