Majority wants Abdul Khalid to be retained as MB

The majority of Astro AWANI readers want to see Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim retained as the Selangor Menteri Besar.

KUALA LUMPUR: The majority of Astro AWANI readers want to see Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim retained as the Selangor Menteri Besar following the political dilemma in Pakatan Rakyat.

According to a poll conducted by Astro AWANI on Monday, 62.42 per cent want Abdul Khalid Ibrahim to remain in his post.

A total of 9.11 per cent people want to see PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as the Selangor Menteri Besar while Selangor PAS commissioner Iskandar Abdul Samad received 4.64 per cent votes and PKR deputy president Azmin Ali received 4.34 per cent votes.

19.49 per cent people however voted that they do not want any of the four names suggested in the poll as the Selangor Menteri Besar.

The change of the Selangor MB was an extention to the ‘Kajang Move’ decided by PKR leaders since January 15, which saw Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim naming Dr Wan Aziziah as the new candidate for the Selangor MB post.

However, Abdul Khalid said that it was better that the Selangor State Legislative Assembly (DUN) was dissolved to get the peoples mandate on the Selangor MB issue.

When asked if the DUN should be dissolved 66.08 per cent said the DUN should not be dissolved while a mere 33.92 per cent said it should be dissolved.

A total of 50.04 per cent of people were of the opinion that Pakatan Rakyat will be heading for 'splitsville' after Hari Raya Aidilfitri while 31.74 people said it would not.

The possibility of Pakatan breaking up began when PAS President Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat defended Abdul Khalid to remain as the Selangor MB.

PAS leaders have however been ordered not to make any statements on the Selangor MB issue and to await the decision which will be made during the PAS central meeting scheduled for August 10. - Astro Awani
