Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng expressed surprise that Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali has "interfered" in the running of his administration.

When asked to respond to Azmin's statement that the CM should not have sacked the two PKR assemblypersons, Lim said this was the first time a menteri besar or chief minister of a Pakatan state had commented on another's administration.
