Political career

edit

Support for Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari

edit

On 6 March 2024, Abdul Rashid declared support for Menteri Besar Amirudin and his state government. He became the first Opposition, PN and BERSATU MLA to do so. However, like the six Members of Parliament (MPs) who declared support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim at the federal level, he pledged loyalty to BERSATU and remained its member although supporting Amirudin and his state government. He added that the royal address by Sultan Sharafuddin praising the performance of Amirudin and his state government, the silence of BERSATU on the criticisms and allegations against the Sultan as well as the wellbeing of Selat Kelang were among his reasons of doing so.[1]
