Inaccurate to claim PN is backdoor gov't, says Selangor Sultan
- 4 years ago
Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah today said allegations that the new Perikatan Nasional-led federal government was installed through a coup or is a backdoor government should cease.
"Recently, we have witnessed a change in the federal government from Pakatan Harapan to Perikatan Nasional.
"I have personally followed closely the change in power which was very carefully carried out by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong who followed meticulous and open negotiations in line with the provisions of the Federal Constitution.
"The allegations that the formation of the federal government is a backdoor government or a coup is inaccurate and it should stop as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is empowered to use his discretion as provided by the law," he said during his officiating speech for the new Selangor state assembly sitting for the year.
