PETALING JAYA: Former Perlis menteri besar Shahidan Kassim said Barisan Nasional assemblymen oppose the appointment of Azlan Man to lead the state government, Bernama reports.
This comes hours after Azlan was sworn-in by the Perlis ruler this morning, in a ceremony boycotted by all BN assemblymen.
Perlis is one of two states won by Barisan Nasional in the recent polls.
Earlier the Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Putra Jamalullail criticised the assemblymen for staying away from the ceremony.
Shahidan also called for Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s intervention, adding that Azlan should not have accepted the post as he has no support from elected assemblymen.
