Amirudin Shari succeeded Azmin Ali as Selangor menteri besar in 2018.PETALING JAYA: The longstanding ties between Bersatu secretary-general Azmin Ali and Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari could help smooth negotiations on a cooperation deal between the state government and Bersatu assemblymen, says an analyst.
Mazlan Ali of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia said the close ties between the two leaders, dating back to their time in PKR, could help smooth negotiations on a cooperation agreement that is expected to involve opposition assemblymen supporting the state administration.
“We knew that Azmin and Amirudin were once very close. In my view, their good relationship will help make this cooperation work and mark a new phase in Selangor politics,” he told FMT.
