Rafizi Ramli, PKR strategist and MP of Pandan is trying very hard to justify the resignation of the Kajang assemblyman Lee Chin Cheh from Selangor Legislative Assembly so that Anwar Ibrahim can take his seat.
Rafizi said that Anwar has to be an assemblyman in Selangor to prevent UMNO from declaring state of emergency in Selangor and take over the Selangor government.
Is he serious?
For all I know, UMNO is not as power crazy as Pakatan to the point that UMNO will declare a state of emergency just to win a state.
I think that this is seriously a wild accusation.
And even PKR’s Faekah Husin did not believe in Rafizi’s statement.
The Star reported that Selangor State Speaker Hannah Yeoh made an announcement at a press conference at 5pm saying that Kajang assemblyman Lee Chin Cheh has resigned from the Selangor Legislative Assembly today.
Hannah Yeoh officially declared the N25 Kajang seat vacant.
The Star wrote that:
The resignation of Lee, better known as CC Lee in PKR, is believed to be connected to mounting speculation that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is being lined up to replace Khalid as Selangor Mentri Besar.
Will Anwar Ibrahim, who failed to become the Prime Minister after the 13th General Election, become the next MB of Selangor?
