Amanah calls for Selangor MB to review Dengkil assemblyman's role

Amanah Selangor's communications director Abbas Azmi has called on Selangor Menteri Besar Ibrahim Aziz to investigate the role and standing of the Dengkil assemblyman in light of ongoing court cases involving the Sepang Umno branch leader.

The move comes as the Umno official faces legal action related to comments about a member of a religious order, raising questions about leadership standards within the state assembly.

Azmi did not elaborate on the specific grounds for the review or provide further details about the nature of the allegations. The call reflects Amanah's scrutiny of conduct standards among state representatives, particularly those holding positions of responsibility.

The development adds to political tensions in Selangor, where multiple parties hold seats in the state legislative assembly. It remains unclear whether the Menteri Besar's office will formally respond to Amanah's request or what measures, if any, might follow from such a review.
