MB Selangor: Azmin 2 – Wan Azizah 0
Effectively, it tells us Azmin has given two fingers to his party Boss, Princess Iron Fan, and mentor Anwar Ibrahim. Azmin went on his own bat to push hard his personal choice for his replacement.

MM Online – Anwar, Dr Wan Azizah urge support for new Selangor MB (extracts):
KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — PKR leaders Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail rallied today behind the appointment of Amirudin Shari as the new Selangor mentri besar that was criticised by a party member.
PKR de facto leader Anwar tweeted that the issue could be resolved amicably within Pakatan Harapan (PH).
“Please support AmirMB as representative of PH,” Anwar tweeted.
Dr Wan Azizah, who is PKR president, told The Star that Selangor has been waiting for a new mentri besar after incumbent Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali was appointed Economic Affairs Minister.
Though the PKR top couple came out with “brave faces” and conciliatory words, you can bet what I have posted earlier, to wit, Looming trouble in PKR Selangor, has cut deeply within the PKR-body. The couple must be bloody furious with Azmin Ali and also a certain “someone” else.
I had then mentioned the PKR intra-party struggle between Wan Azizah’s faction (Pandan Cats) and Azmin’s faction (Gombak Dwarves) continues, but with the Dwarves somehow gaining royal approval and thus political ascendancy.
I noted that my earlier post How can lah – ONLY ONE name for MB Selangor? was even picked up and presented as a reference in the Malaysian Chronicles‘ post, a newspaper owned by PKR, namely:
We are reminded by above post that:
PKR deputy president Azmin Ali was sworn in as the Selangor menteri besar two days after the May 9 general election without the endorsement of Pakatan Harapan parties.
This was revealed by PKR’s Ijok state assemblyperson Dr Idris Ahmad in a press conference at his residence this morning.
“There has been speculation that Harapan wanted me to be the new menteri besar before the 14th general election.
“So, when we were in the joyful mood celebrating our victory, two days later a new menteri besar was proclaimed without the blessing of the parties.
“I don’t want to be a gentleman anymore, he (Azmin) just went there (Istana Alam Shah) on his own,” he claimed.
The military calls it a preemptive strike and by stealth too, wakakaka – right down the alley of sneaks like WWII Japs (Pearl Harbour), 1967 Israelis (6-Day War) and subterranean dwarves.
But the point is the PKR operated Malaysian Chronicles generally publishes the unspoken views of PKR top leaders so you can put 2 and 2 together as to they are REALLY thinking but dare not say aloud, and not what they might be saying publicly.
Since then, Azmin on leaving his MB post to become Malaysia’s new Economic Minister, unilaterally nominated-supported his old matey, Amirudin Shari, as his replacement as MB of Selangor, another preemptive strike.
