Abdul Rashid stands firm in support of Amirudin

SHAH ALAM: Selat Klang Bersatu assemblyman Datuk Abdul Rashid Asari has reiterated his support for Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari and is prepared to face any action that may be taken by his party against him.

He said he believes his decision to support Amirudin’s leadership will not cause him to be stripped of his party membership and lose his state seat.

“I understand that once a decision has been made, my case will be referred to the (party) supreme council. It is up to them to take whatever action they want, but I will stick to my decision.

“I am ready to face any action, but so far neither I nor the six Bersatu MPs who shifted their support earlier have been called up by the party’s disciplinary board,” he told a press conference here yesterday.

On March 6, the former Selangor Bersatu chairman declared his support for Amirudin for the sake of the people’s well-being, saying, among other things, that he had considered Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah’s opening speech at the Selangor state assembly that the state administration is on the right track. — Bernama
