IN MAJOR BLOW TO NAJIB & HADI, SELANGOR SULTAN PRAISES AZMIN: ‘I AM FOND OF THE LEADERSHIP OF MY MENTRI BESAR’

SHAH ALAM – Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah said today he wants a stable state government that does not engage in polemics and divisive politics.

In his opening address of the first state legislative assembly meeting this year, he said the state government’s focus should be on delivering economic and social prosperity to its people.

“Before I end my speech, I would like to state that politics should not only be about attaining power,” he said.

“Politics in its truest definition is meant as a platform to deliver good governance to develop the state.

“As for this I want the state government to be stable and continue to put forward pro-people agendas so as to stay above polemics and parochial politics,” he added.

In that sense, the Selangor ruler praised the leadership of Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, describing the PKR leader’s policies as consistent with the needs of the state and its people.

“I would like to say that I am fond of the leadership of my mentri besar who continues to produce policies that are pro-people,” he said.

The state controlled by PKR, DAP and PAS continues to lead in contribution to the national economy, totalling at 26.6 per cent of GDP for 2015, larger than the federal capital city Kuala Lumpur which stood at 15 per cent.

Selangor is also at the forefront in welfare policies compared to other states.

Until today, it continues to provide free water to poor households and recently, Azmin announced a healthcare fund for lower-income earners.

Last year, Selangor’s cash reserve grew to RM3.9 billion from RM3.26 billion the previous year, making it possible for the Azmin administration to table a RM3.4 billion budget for 2017, the biggest in the state history.

Sultan Sharafuddin said he was happy with the state’s development and progress, and urged the state government to continue the momentum.
