In a statement, Sultan Sharafuddin’s private secretary Munir Bani said there was inaccurate information going around about the decision not to dissolve the state assembly.

“Actually, on Oct 11, the Selangor menteri besar did not request that the Sultan of Selangor dissolve the state assembly, but stated his desire for the current administration to continue governing the state.

“His Majesty took notice of this and hoped that the agenda of developing Selangor would continue for the sake of the people,” Munir said.

On Tuesday, Amirudin said Sultan Sharafuddin wanted the current Pakatan Harapan state government to complete its full term.

This means that the election for state seats in Selangor will only be held next year.

He had also briefed the sultan on the state government’s preparations for possible floods as well as the Selangor state budget for 2023.

On Monday, caretaker prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced the dissolution of Parliament, paving the way for the 15th general election (GE15).

Ismail also urged state governments to dissolve their legislative assemblies following the dissolution of Parliament.
