The Sultan's private secretary said if Khalid Samad's letter had been one requesting forgiveness, the Sultan could have considered it.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Sultan of Selangor today declined to grant an audience to Shah Alam Member of Parliament Khalid Samad.
Khalid had requested for an audience to explain his statement calling for the abolition of the executive powers of the Selangor Islamic Affairs Council (Mais).
The Sultan’s private secretary, Mohamad Munir Bani, said the letter the Sultan received last Friday was not one apologising for his actions but one in which he requested to explain his statements.
“There is no reason to give explanations to the Sultan. It is better to explain to the people, as he had announced to the whole world that Mais’ executive powers should be done away with.
“The Sultan wants Khalid to explain to the people just as he had done before. He had used the media. Therefore, he must use the same channel to provide his explanation.
“There is no need to see His Majesty,” he said to the media today.
Munir said had the letter been one requesting forgiveness, the Sultan could have considered it. But since he wanted an audience just to provide explanations, the Sultan had rejected it.
Khalid asked the Selangor state government to abolish Mais’ executive powers, which drew the ire of the Sultan, who considered Khalid as rude.
