Tumpang Lalu : PKR and DAP local councillors escape clear-out, but powers may be dilute

SHAH ALAM, Aug 14 — PKR and DAP local councillors will not fall victim to the ongoing Selangor mentri besar crisis, PAS state executive councillor Dr Halimah Ali said today.

But she also said that the government is now accepting applications from member of the public for vacancies on local councils.

“All will be maintained,” she told reporters here today.

There are in total nine local government councils in Selangor.

Two days ago, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim sacked five state executive councillors from the two parties for purportedly undermining his position as Selangor mentri besar.

Yesterday, he hinted that his clearout of PKR and DAP officials would continue to lower levelsunless there could be a “smooth running” of the government.

The Selangor Economic Action Council met just moments ago to weigh the necessity of removing PKR and DAP local councillors from office.
