Mazlynoor will not be forced to resign, says MB
KUALA LANGAT: Klang Municipal Councillor Datuk Mazlynoor Abdul Latiff, who built his Kampung Raja Uda bungalow without council approval, will not be forced to resign, said Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo.
Dr Khir said he had decided that any councillor who settled his problem with the council within one or two months, could remain in the post.
“Now, it’s up to him (Mazlynoor) to decide, I can’t force a person. He is nominated (as a councillor) and he is qualified,” he said yesterday.
“The only thing is he broke the local government rules. I understand that he will settle the matter within one or two days.”
Dr Khir was speaking to newsmen after a Hari Raya open house held by the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah at Pantai Kelanang in Morib here yesterday.
Mazlynoor is one of three councillors with the Klang Municipal Council who bulit their homes without approval. Two of them – Faizal Abdullah and Port Klang state assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Md Deros – resigned as councillors last week.
Council president Abdul Bakir Zin said Mazlynoor resubmitted the building plan of his bungalow to the council last Friday and it would take two to three days to approve the plan.
