JUNE 29 — The story of Pakatan Harapan began with Selangor in 2008. There was an election and they won it. No one other than Umno — leading Alliance or Barisan Nasional — had ever done so before.
Therefore, as Nomination Day draws closer, all parties and coalitions should present their presumptive menteri besar candidate. To not do so is disingenuous and unfair to the Selangor voter. All attention is transferred to the richest state and political epicentre, Selangor this election season. ― Picture by Sayuti ZainudinMenteri Besar Amiruddin is a three-term assemblyman of Sungai Tua — Batu Caves and MIC stronghold previously. His mentor Azmin Ali handpicked him as he left the job to be minister in 2018.
Khalid did himself no favour by being overwhelmingly unloved inside the party and with his own constituents. He fled his hometown Ijok to Port Klang to avoid defeat in the state seat.Anwar’s people engineered a by-election in Kajang — as a precursor to him being MB — only to be jolted by the Federal Court incarcerating Anwar a day before MH370 disappeared.
However, his electoral history is not that impressive. One contest, one defeat. In Kuala Selangor last November. His ties keep him as minister today, despite no parliamentary seat or elected position in Umno. The pretenders have grounds to call the election in their favour but they still lack an answer to voters when they ask who is the MB candidate.That’s why PN boss Muhyiddin Yassin never tires of talking to Umno reject Khairy Jamaluddin. He was also rejected by Sungai Buloh voters last year but the former health minister ticks boxes. In a country where actual talent is secondary to a suitable combination of demography and CV, Khairy rises to the top.
