Khalid said that "Mohd Shamsudin is a capable person as he has experience in state administration given his experience as a former district officer".[4] In 2014, he stepped down as the opposition leader in the State Legislative Assembly as he no longer wanted to helm the PAC, protesting against the Barisan Nasional's lack of representation and power on the committee.[5]
