PAS will not bow to pressure from Selangor DAP representative - Iskandar

Selangor PAS commissioner Datuk Iskandar Abdul Samad when affirming the matter said that the party would maintain its status quo in the administration.

Iskandar, who is also Cempaka assemblyman, said DAP should stop political intimidation against PAS and remember that the opposition's victory in Selangor in the last general election was due to agreement and cooperation between PAS, DAP and PKR.

"PAS is still in the state government and our task is to carry out our responsibilities as part of the administration which is focusing on the budget," he told Bernama when met here.

Iskandar was commenting on a report which quoted DAP Kajang Baru chairman, Chiong Yoke Kong as proposing to DAP's top leadership to put more pressure on Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali, to quickly sack PAS representatives in the state administration.

Chiong, who reportedly made the remarks during the Selangor DAP Annual Convention in Petaling Jaya on Sunday, was also quoted as saying that if Mohamed Azmin still failed to remove the PAS representatives, DAP would 'walk-out' of the state government.

Azmin had previously been reported as saying that PKR had decided to continue its cooperation with all opposition parties, including PAS in Selangor, and that it did not require the establishment of Pakatan Harapan in the state as was implemented in Penang because the political situation in the two states were different.

Selangor DAP vice-chairman Datuk Teng Chang Khim, however, differed in his stance from Chiong, and felt that the call for PAS Selangor to be removed from the state government's administration line up would only hurt DAP and PAS.
