Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim must take full responsibility for Selangor’s failure to solve the bible issue resulting in the Bible Society of Malaysia moving to Kuala Lumpur to avoid reach of the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department.
The Menteri Besar has displayed a total lack of interest and political will in his handling of the issue and this has resulted in a serious loss of faith of not only the christians but most other Malaysians in his leadership in Selangor.
The Menteri Besar has failed Pakatan Rakyat as well in that he has failed to uphold our basic pledge to uphold the rights of minorities in a multi-cultural, multi-racial and multi-religious Selangor and Malaysia.
It goes without saying that incidents like these demonstrate Khalids inability to understand and solve problems which need political courage and strength and that begs the question as to whether or not he is politically fit and able enough to continue as Menteri Besar in Selangor.
Situations like these, needless to say, will cost Pakatan dearly in the next general elections. This is precisely the reason why many have expressed great concern about Khalid’s leadership in Selangor.
