PAC Chairman[]
In 2010, Shamsudin was elected as the Public Accounts Committee Chairman (PAC) even though the state of Selangor is controlled by Pakatan Rakyat and he was a Barisan Nasional-UMNO member.[3] He was praised by the Pakatan Rakyat's Menteri Besar of Selangor, Khalid Ibrahim. 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]
