Today’s sitting is scheduled to be the last for this year.

"Selangor PH chairman Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari is expected to hold the meeting as soon as possible.

"As for the state level, we support the unity government at the federal level led by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,” Ng told the Malay daily.

He added that for now, BN will still be considered part of the Opposition bloc at the state level.

Amirudin is also Selangor mentri besar and the state PKR chief.

Currently, PH holds 40 seats in the Selangor state assembly with BN controlling five and Perikaan Nasional, four.
