Selangor MB crisis: No impasse, Sultan merely has to choose, says Bar Council


KUALA LUMPUR: There is no impasse in the Selangor mentri besar crisis and the Sultan's role, as clearly defined by the state constitution, is to appoint the person whom he thinks the majority of state assemblymen have confidence in, said Bar Council president Christopher Leong.

"I do not see an impasse. What I see is a process being undertaken by Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah to perform his role under Article 53(2) of the Selangor state constitution," said Leong.
