Mohd Khusrin Munawi arrived at work at the Selangor State Secretariat at 6.45am today, despite the controversy surrounding his appointment, avoiding the bevy of reporters waiting for him at the entrance.
"There was no problem," he said, putting a brave face, before disappearing into state government's headquarters in Shah Alam.
However, it is understood that he has not yet reported to the menteri besar, as Khalid Ibrahim will be coming in later this morning.
A source from the MB's office told the media that no directives were given to stop Khusrin from going to the state secretary's office on the 19th floor of the state secretariat building.
"There is not going to be any confrontation... Of course, he can come in but whether he works for us (the Selangor government) is a different story," he said.
He is due to be sworn in on Jan 6, but the state government is opposing his appointment saying that the MB was never consulted on his appointment.
The Selangor government is against Khusrin being named by the federal government as the top civil servant in the state as he had served as a special aide to Umno's MB Muhammad Muhammad Taib.
Khusrin, 54, was picked by chief secretary to the government Mohd Sidek Hassan to replace Ramli Mahmud, who ended his service on Dec 31.
Before his promotion, Khusrin served as the controversial head of the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais).
