yippy! court rule nizar is legit MB!

and we are all waiting for a fresh election in perak!

this is already what we understand all along – simple constitution rule. we all already know that the sultan has no right to sack the MB. we all already know that the MB can be removed only through a vote of confidence in the assembly. all along we know nizar IS the rightful, legitimate MB… but it has to take a run-about way, for the court to decide such a simple obvious known thing. all this courtesy of our PM! and of course the sultan! then only it came down to the zambry, the illegitimate MB!

why does BN wants to appeal? BN still stubborn, not going to adhere to the constitutional law?

i hope for god’s sake… no for the country’s sake i mean… this time the sultan will agree to dissolve the state assembly. this is the only wise decision now…. to go back to the people. let the people decide who they want for the government.

Court rules Nizar is legitimate MB
May 11, 09 10:54am

The Kuala Lumpur High Court today paved the way for a fresh  battle in Perak by declaring that BN’s Zambry Abd Kadir is not the legitimate menteri besar of Perak.

Justice Abdul Aziz Abd Rahim then proclaimed Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as the rightful Perak menteri besar.

His decision rubberstamped ousted Pakatan Rakyat MB Nizar’s argument that he is still the legitimate menteri besar.

Zambry’s lawyer Cecil Abraham’s application for a stay of proceedings pending an appeal was also rejected by the court.

The judge said if the Sultan of Perak had wanted to order Nizar’s resignation, he should have called the assembly to table a motion of no-confidence against PAS leader.

He said that a new menteri besar could not be appointed as the office had not been vacated

The decision is now set to bring about more uncertainty in the state.

Nizar to meet sultan

Only last Thursday, Zambry and the BN coalition made some inroads in the state assembly by removing the Pakatan appointed speaker V Sivakumar and replaced him with R Ganesan from MIC.

Nizar had sought a declaration that he was the he was the rightful menteri besar and to prevent Zambry from discharging his duty.

The state has been in a political impasse since February after Sultan Azlan Shah urged Nizar to step down and appointed Zambry as the menteri besar.

The sultan’s decision was based on the defection of three Pakatan elected representatives to become BN-friendly independents.

Nizar however has questioned the legitimacy of Zambry’s appointment and has been pushing for the state assembly to be dissolved so that fresh elections could be held.

Nizar’s lawyers previously argued in the court that if he got the declaration, he would seek a fresh mandate to resolve the political deadlock.

At present Pakatan and BN have 28 seats each in the state assembly but the three BN-friendly independents have shaded the power towards the BN side.

After the decision, Nizar said that he would be seeking an audience with the sultan in Ipoh immediately to dissolve the state assembly and pave way for a state election.

Zambry meanwhile is on his way down to Kuala Lumpur for Umno’s 63rd anniversary tonight.
