The former Kelantan menteri besar in his brief reaction when met at his house in Pulau Melaka, here, also expressed hope that the decision would be good for this world and the hereafter.

"Pray to Allah as much as possible for the decision by the palace to be beneficial in this world and the hereafter, InsyaAllah (God willing)," he said.

The Sultan of Selangor on Tuesday decided to postpone accepting the resignation of Abdul Khalid as menteri besar until a new menteri besar is chosen to ensure a smooth state administration.

Abdul Khalid had an audience with the Sultan at Istana Bukit Kayangan in Shah Alam to express his intention to step down from the post.

During the audience, Sultan Sharafuddin also ordered each party in Pakatan Rakyat to propose more than two names as candidates for the menteri besar post.
