Khalid: Selangor protocol officers have already met officials from the palace.
Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim today said his administration had already resolved the debacle over the Queen’s visit at the Islamic Song Festival held earlier last month, where the Selangor ruler and most executive councillors were not informed.
“Selangor protocol officers have already met officials from the palace,” the Selangor Mentri Besar told reporters.
However, Umno leaders have lashed out at his administration for dismissing the need to apologise to Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Nur Zahirah.
Only one Selangor executive councillors attended the Tourism Selangor-organised International Islamic Song Festival on July 4, to welcome the Queen.
Khalid said he did not want to comment further on the issue, despite coming under fire from his predecessor Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo and Selangor Umno deputy chief Datuk Seri Noh Omar.
Dr Khir and Noh have said that Khalid’s refusal to apologise was rude and arrogant.
But Khalid today dismissed their criticisms.
“It’s not relevant,” said Khalid.
He pointed out that Tourism Selangor has been held accountable for the blunder.
“They have been asked to look into it (what had happened) and improve,” said Khalid.
It was previously reported that Tourism Selangor had received a show cause letter from Tourism executive councillor Elizabeth Wong.
Khalid added the question of Wong personally apologising or being held accountable did not arise.
Istana Negara, in a statement on Thursday, said the Queen attended the event after receiving an official invitation from organisers.

Remember the Trengganu affair when DYMM was called natang by your comrades, where were you then Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo and Selangor Umno deputy chief Datuk Seri Noh Omar? Why didn't you open your mouth then? The selangor affair was a let down by Tourism Selangor as explained by the MB. Why are you two still crowing.
Yeah, now that these two has-been's are out of power they pick on the most frivolous things to blare their mouths. Go back to your kampong and rear chickens!
nor and toyo, please stop barking because the more you bark, the more your ignorance and stupidity are revealed. if you two are good at bungling, just keep your big mouths shut and sit down quietly.
