Finally… the truth is prevails…
The High Court here ruled on Monday that Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin is the rightful Perak Mentri Besar, and not Barisan Nasional’s Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir. In an immediate response, Zambry said he would apply for a stay pending appeal. This was rejected by the court. The court also ordered Zambry and the six executive councillors he had appointed to vacate their office. An aide to Dr Zambry told the media that Perak Barisan Nasional will respect the court order and will vacate their offices at the state secretariat building immediately. He added that Dr Zambry is on his way to Kuala Lumpur from Ipoh. Dr Zambry could not be reached for comment at press time.
Nizar left the courtroom saying he would seek an audience with the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, to get his consent to dissolve the Assembly and call for fresh state elections. He would make his request for the audience at a state function at the Istana Kuala Kangsar Tuesday morning. In his ruling Monday, Justice Abdul Aziz Abd Rahim said that a new mentri besar could not be appointed as the office had not been vacated. He said a mentri besar can only be dismissed by a vote of no confidence, and upheld the Stephen Kalong Ningkan ruling ( previous same case in Perak) . He noted that the Perak State Legislative did not hold a vote of no confidence.
Now … let see tommorow if Baginda Sultan will ‘perkenan’ or not on the MB Nizar request to dissolve the Assembly.
