PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali has described the loss of an exco position in the Selangor government as the party's "sacrifice" to ensure Pakatan Rakyat ride out the crisis in the state.
 
"Whatever it is, we are confident the menteri besar has done his best to strike a balance.
 
"What is more important for us is this is another sacrifice PAS has to do to see a resolution to the Selangor crisis and Pakatan can move forward," he was quoted as saying by Harakahdaily.

Only three PAS representatives were sworn-in as Selangor executive council members today, a reduction of one exco seat.

Under menteri besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, PAS had four representatives while PKR and DAP had three each on the exco.

Instead, under newly-minted MB Azmin Ali, PKR has four exco members, while PAS and DAP have three each.

Mustafa said he did not expect the reduced representation for PAS in the state government but he accepted it with an open heart, for Azmin had a "difficult choice to make".

All quarters, he said, should appreciate any sacrifice made and he went on to stress that BN is the main enemy, not its allies parties in Pakatan.

The three new PAS exco members sworn in today were Iskandar Abdul Samad (left), Ahmad Yunus Hairi and Zaidy Abdul Talib.

The two PAS exco members who were dropped are Sallehen Mukhyi and Halimah Ali, while Zaidy is a newcomer.

From PKR, the four who were sworn in are Amirudin Shari, Daroyah Alwi, Elizabeth Wong and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

Dropped from PKR is Rodziah Ismail.

As for DAP, the exco members are Teng Chang Khim, Ean Yong Hian Wah and V Ganabatirau.
