Nizar may have lost the legal battle but had won the hearts of people

The Court of Appeal today returned a unanimous decision that Barisan Nasional’s Datuk Zambry Abd Kadir is the rightful Perak menteri besar, ruling that his Pakatan Rakyat rival Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddinn had ceased to command the majority in the Perak state assembly. The judges also ruled that the Sultan was right in appointing Zambry the MB and that there was no need for a vote of no confidence in the House against Nizar. The three-member Bench comprising Justices Md Raus Shariff, Zainun Ali and Ahmad Maarop delivered judgment after hearing submissions from both parties yesterday.

However, the Court of Appeal decision is not expected to bring an end to the crisis in Perak as the parties can still appeal to the Federal Court. This afternoon, security at the Court of Appeal was tight with police taking extra precautions in allowing people into the courtroom. Nizar’s counsel Sulaiman Abdullah said he would be filing an appeal. Md Raus said he had attempted to write the judgement last night but failed. He assured Suleiman they would have one within a week.

The Barisan Nasional (BN) has named Bukit Gantang Umno information chief Ismail Saffian, 49, as its candidate for the seat. Nomination is on Sunday.The by-election is necessitated by the death of its Member of Parliament Roslan Shahrom of PAS on Feb 9. In the general election held in March last year, Roslan defeated the BN’s Datuk Seri Abdul Azim Zabidi Roslan by a majority of 1,566 votes while an independent candidate, M. Mogan, secured only 882 votes and lost his deposit.

Apabila Tuan Guru Nik Aziz berkata-kata- Malaysiakini

“Kalau tanya saya, saya tidak boleh terima seorang yang berjawatan MB (menteri besar) ambil (wakili kawasan) parlimen… kecuali orang yang tidak berjawatan MB,” Menteri Besar Kelantan dipetik berkata di pejabatnya hari ini.

Tambah beliau lagi “Bagi saya, tidak elok kalau MB Perak (Mohammad Nizar) turut bertanding di kawasan lain, sedangkan dia mempunyai kedudukan di kawasan lama. 

“Ini seperti yang dilakukan bekas presiden PAS dahulu, (allahyarham) Datuk Asri Muda, yang bertanding di dua kerusi ketika memegang jawatan menteri besar Kelantan.” 

Itulah bisanya kata-kata Tuan Guru dan Mursyidul Am PAS tidak bersetuju dengan cadangan mereka yang inginkan Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin diberi peluang bertanding pada pilihanraya kecil Bukit Gantang nanti. Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat berkata selagi Pakatan Rakyat masih menganggapnya menteri besar Perak, adalah tidak sesuai timbalan pesuruhjaya PAS Perak itu dicalonkan bertanding di kerusi parlimen itu, lapor Bernama.

Apa yang tersirat ialah Tuan Guru menyindir secara halus BN dan juga masih menganggap Pakatan Rakyat masih memegang tampuk pemerintahan Perak.

Nik Abdul Aziz turut memuji langkah anggota Dewan Undangan Negeri
(Adun) Bukit Selambau, V Arumugam yang meletak jawatannya itu dan juga exco kerajaan Kedah sebagai “seorang yang berprinsip”. Tuan Guru juga membicarakan yang myngkin Arumugan juga tak biasa dengan ugutan dan tekanan apabila menjadi Yang Berhormat..
