Surendran says Khalid must resign immediately as the law clearly says so.
PETALING JAYA: Shooting back at Khalid Ibrahim for his latest tweet insisting he will stay on as Selangor’s Menteri Besar (MB), PKR vice-president N.Surendran said the latter had “no legal or moral legitimacy” to cling on to his post any longer.
Surendran explained, “Article 53(6) of the Selangor State Constitution states that if the MB ‘ceases to command the confidence of the majority’ of the members of the assembly, he shall tender his resignation and that of the state Exco.”
He added that with the confirmation today of the 30 members who are backing Dr.Wan Azizah over Khalid that Article 53(6) is operative.
Surendran also said, “Khalid is bound by the Constitution to leave office immediately” rendering it pointless that Khalid insist on waiting until a vote of no-confidence is passed.
“Khalid’s immediate twitter response suggests that he intends to desperately cling on to office until there is a motion of no confidence.”
Surendran questioned Khalid’s logic saying, “…there is no doubt that he does not have the confidence of the assembly.”
“Khalid must now seek an immediate audience with the Ruler and tender his resignation.”
Surendran also said, Khalid owes the people an explanation as to why he said on August 11 that he had informed the Ruler of the confidence the majority of the assembly had in him.
“He must now also explain upon what basis he made such a statement to the Ruler of the state of Selangor,” Surendran said.
