I’m paying the price for integrity, says Khalid

'I decided to be a politician; so I have to bear it.'

SHAH ALAM: Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim says he is paying the price for being a man of integrity.

“I decided to be a politician; so I have to bear it,” he said today in obvious reference to his sacking from PKR.

Khalid made the remark as an aside as he acknowledged the presence of reporters while delivering a speech at a conference on integrity organised by the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) in Shah Alam.

The speech proper was devoid of any reference to politics, but delved into the subject of integrity in the holding of public trust.

After delivering the speech, he left the hall with more than a dozen security personnel, who prevented reporters from asking questions.
