I am still MB, says defiant Khalid

Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim insisted he is still the Selangor Menteri Besar and will continue to carry out his duties as usual, with or without a party.
Khalid, who was sacked from PKR yesterday for his refusal to vacate his post, said the Malay Rulers Advisory Council is scheduled to meet tomorrow to discuss the ongoing crisis in the state.
He said he would not be issuing any statements until the council has made its decision.
Khalid reiterated that he accepted the party's decision to sack him although he considered the move as wrong and unconstitutional.
"I am saying this again because I accept the decision although it is wrong, unlawful and against the party's constitution."
Asked whether he would make an appeal to the party disciplinary board over the matter, Khalid said he would wait for the outcome of the meeting before deciding on the next course of action.
Khalid today appeared calm and happy while accompanying the Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah at the state mosque in Shah Alam to officiate a hajj programme, despite facing mounting pressure from his own political party to resign over his handling of Selangor’s affairs.
These included the state’s management of water resources, the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway, and seizure of Bibles in Malay and Iban by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais).
With this latest move, analysts said that legally, Khalid is still the MB but will find it difficult to function as the state’s chief executive because PKR’s decision yesterday has taken away all political and moral authority for him to govern.
PKR has named its president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, who won the Kajang by-election earlier this year, as Khalid's replacement.
But, Khalid has remained adamant that he would not step down as MB, saying he will serve his full term.
He was issued a show-cause letter on Tuesday by PKR for going against the party decision.
Following his expulsion yesterday, Khalid said the action was "flawed and illegal", and vowed to remain as MB pending advice from the state ruler.
