The Malaysian Insider

In this Perak's fiasco, the drama continues to unfold...
The script is perfect for a blockbuster movie show...
One turn leads to another, suspense and tricks...
What would be the outcome???

In desperation, Zambry seeks counsel from Pak Lah...
Pak Lah says make police report...
Cannot trust, want to engage QC...
People laugh, then U-turn back to Umno lawyers (tak boleh pakai punya),
Now more desperation, Zambry files case in High Court...to life the ban on him and his excos...
Too late, tomorrow is Emergency sitting at the Dewan...
Zambry and gang barred from attending,
the Speaker follows the Constitution...

Again, what is the outcome of this drama???

Umno lost!!!!

BN is breaking laws of the land.

UMNO can do practically anything against the law and they are still right. UMNO can have street protest. They can go to Parliament to intimidate a man who is on a wheelchair. They can make files and people dissappear. They can make data erased from the government computers. What else UMNO can't do. They are really marvellous. They can't be doing all this alone, can they?

Hi People,

Just wanted to let u know that in place of your headlines yesterday, there was a huge gaping hole for several hours. What happened? On my mobile version it was ok.

This can be serious as u get us all worried that something serious has happened to the country. Was it a technial glitch? If it was u must run a line saying so...otheriwse imagination can run wild in these uncertain times.

The impartiality of the courts is once again tested.

Smart maneuver by the PR people. Surely, the BN was too busy celebrating the victory of being able to get the Sultan to approve the new MB involving corrupt politicians who defect because of money, position, and the possibility magically disappearing court charges. I don't believe there are too much politicking, just good maneuver and watching the great minds of Malaysians at work even though some may have used the unscrupulous ways to get the backing of the Sultan to install a MB whom none of the Perakians like or agree to have.

please don't say the 4 letter bad word = UMNO

Why not surprised? Either they dont care or ignorant, these ppl will bulldoze their way to power. Since they own the govt, laws are only apply to those who dont run the govt. The more they show their thugish manner, the more support they will loose from the public, not like they haven't one year ago. Shame on them.

As usual, Umno making their own laws and changing the goal post. Remember when dispute in Umno can't be contested in court.

Who is this judge who is going to issue this injunction when clearly executive does not control over legilslative? Desperado case of an illegitimate MB to resort to court for State issues. If such an injunction is given (since money can be great inducement), then all hell's break loose for Malaysian's rule of law. Like that I also as ordinary citizen don't have to bother pay any taxes or bills since we are lawless and we can go to court endlessly until kingdom come. More and more no respect for our government and our courts!

Go to court to get an injunction on the House orders!!!??? Might as well file a restraining order for the Speakers to stay away from DUN building.

Won't be surprised Ops Perah Lallang in the way, the only shitty way that Najis can think off rather than upholdings the rules of law.

So now where are Nazrin's "impartial" statements since we Perakians are under siege by BN?

Illegal MB with illegal idea. What a stupid he is. zambry more stupid than his boss, sleeping pak lah. Pak lah asked to do police report & zambry want file injunction. Do what ever you want the dumb & dumber. Perakian won't accept you as our MB because you are illegal. Go to hell.

I expected Zamry to do this. This guy is devoid of constitutional ideas and decency and is desperately lashing out to enjoy his ill gotten gains. If the court approves his injunction, OMG, its another blot on Malaysia's image. When will the world stop laughing at us?

Wouldn't it be nice to give Najib a bloody nose before the UMNO elections..

aik semalam duk cakap dalam MSM, speaker cannot call for emergency session. Najib juga ada komen itu session kalu buat tak sah juga. sekarang sudah mau angkat itu court tahan itu speaker ka? aik ada takut jugak ka? semalam cakap mayak busar?

Dissolve the Assembly. Go to the poll. Let the good people of Perak to decide. Obviously UMNO knows that they do not have the overall support and is now Chicken Shit about the possibility of having another election in Perak. UMNO, if you think that you are so right why not agree to what PR is proposing by dissolving the Assembly instead? CHICKEN?

Make that 2 ex-PR and ex-DAP Hee instanctly unemployed!

If the courts allow the assembly to be stopped because of a court action, it sets a dangerous precedent that could screw up law making FOR GOOD. Furthermore, the assembly in no way affect the court ability to decide or the outcome of the case..

1) Court will create an injunction to stop the proceedings (violation on seperation of powers).
2) Somehow, the courts will declare the suspensions "null and void" in the space of 24 hours (abuse of powers).
3) Zombie and his goons will walk into the Assembly, but motion of no-confidence still passed as Speaker refuse to acknowledge their presence.
4) UMNO go the streets protesting "Daulat Tuanku!", "Ketuanan Melayu" and start riots arounds Perak.
5) Najis will declare state of emergency, and wipe out the opposition by either "disappearence" or "threats".
6) He will go to the UMNO General Assembly and smiling like a bloody idiot, while he's elected PM.
7) The Rakyat had enough of his rethorics and held a mass rally (ala "People's Power" in Manila or "The Yellow Shirts" in Thailand).
8) Najis sends in the calvary and packs all dissidents to Kamunting.
9) The King decides to dissolve the Parliament, and fresh elections held.
10) BN is WIPED OUT in the elections, and PR will take power of the Government

Please do reapect and uphold the doctrine of Separation of Powers......

Apa la tak phm bahasa org BN ni, bnda alah ni mana boley bwk ke court. Dh kata dh kuasa legislature tu asing2...buang masa jer nih. Tp tak tau la if Najib boley putar alam lg skali psl bnda ni. Hopefully BN jatuh by this week.....

Maybe this is what we can term as innovative and forward looking government. Doing the unprecedented and charting a new path to lead the way towards a new political system in Malaysia.

If the current system is called Democracy, what would this new one be. Well, lets give the honour of naming it to the pioneer, none less than Datuk Zambry. Please, please, please don't disappoint us Datuk Zambry. You are THE MAN.

What is the BN trying to do? Hope they understand the separation of powers.If they dont then they are"POLITICAL ILLITERATES" and must be voted out of office.BN thinks the judiciary is their slaves and it is high time the "LEARNED JUDGES" for once speak up and prove to the world that they are "NOT SPINELESS".Malaysians shud now stand up and fight for 'REFORMASI and MAKKAL SAKTHI".

Please do respect and uphold the doctrine of Separation of Powers!!!! don't use the judiciary as your sword!!!!

"Barisan Nasional (BN) are eager to be properly represented because its government could otherwise be voted out of office".

So BN will now use, or rather abuse, the court processes. How cheap, and stinky!!

Also, asking to "lift the suspension orders preventing them from attending the state assembly" means the BN agrees that the assembly is being held LEGALLY then.

BN, so who is the real coward, not wanting to face the RAKYAT. Sore losers, be prepared to lose again in the by-election. It's going to be BYE BYE election for BN (BE END)

Just a thot. Since UMNO, MCA & MIC are all abbreviation/acronym/short form for English words, why not call the group National Front (NF). Use Bahasa Malaysia lah for your party names. Otherwise we will think U.M.N.O. stands for Ungkal, Maksiat, Nyenyak, Ompang (Disobedient, Sinful, Sound asleep, Toothless) OR Uja Mahu Nyala Omong (incite to ignite gossips)

UMNO ni memang bodoh la..tak belajar Doktrin Separation of Power ka?
Aku amik diploma pun belajar? Korang dalam politik tak belajar ka??
Klau macam tu bole tak aku nak suruh Speaker campur tangan mahkamah persekutuan suruh kekalkan hakim yg dengar kes Nizar? Boleh tak UMNO??OH lupa..kalu korang buat memang boleh..

Why BN so scared to state-by-election? If BN still can win later then will go ahead, nobody bother you all

Hayatilah Doktrin Pengasingan Kuasa, Pulangkanlah mandat kepada Rakyat Perak!!!

Finally Dr Zambry acts. It also means the speaker really has the power when he suspended Dr Zambry and his Excos. Also, the speaker decision to convene an emergency sitting tomorrow is also legally correct.

Cowards. Greedy. Selfish. Taking what's not theirs, and insisting it's theirs.

02 March 2009
BN semakin pening.
IPOH : Pagi ini rakan media memaklumkan kepada saya satu injuksi di mahkamah akan dilakukan oleh BN bagi menghalang Sidang DUN Tergempar yang akan diadakan esok.

Kalau benar berita ini bererti BN sudah dalam keadaan tersepit dan terdesak. Mereka menyedari segala tindakan yang dilakukan untuk menghalang sidang DUN itu tidak akan berjaya.

Walaupun mereka berjaya mengkambing hitamkan SU Dewan, mereka juga menyedari Speaker boleh melantik SU yang baru bagi menjalankan tugas tersebut.

Mencabar di mahkamah adalah lucu seperti kata Tun Dr. Mahadhir. demikianlah lucunya jika berlaku usaha untuk menghalang Sidang DUN Tergempar Perak.

Perlembagaan Persekutuan memperuntukkan :-

Fasal 72. Keistimewaan Dewan Negeri.
1.Sahnya apa-apa perjalanan dalam mana-mana Dewan Negeri tidak boleh dipersoal dalam mana-mana mahkamah.

DRS. KHALIL IDHAM LIM

"The legal action is unprecedented because the courts are not usually allowed to review decisions of the legislature and do not usually have jurisdiction over proceedings of the assembly because of the doctrine of separation of powers."

Every UMNO does is pretty much 'unprecedented', for a better word. Changing the law or constitution to fit their dirty ways. That's what UMNO is good at. Playing dirty. Bend everything that stands in their way.

I am very excited to see how tomorrow's emergency state assembly sitting turns out. Oh, the suspence! The drama!

WTF! It's like an employee telling the employer don't do any work! or a home maid asking her employer stop instructing from doing any job!

Do the BN goons really understand the difference between Legislative and Jurisdictive before going to the court asking for injuction?

Can someone tell me what country I'm living now? or what is the name of the zoo that I'm in now?

Najib Tun Razak menyatakan bahawa sidang DUN Perak tidak boleh diadakan dan tidak sah sekiranya diadakan juga. Hari ini Najib mula berkata sah dan tidak sah sesuatu yang dilihat pada pandangannya tidak mengikut Perlembagaan. Sebelum ini Najib tidak menghiraukan sah ataupun tidak perlantikan Zambry sebagai MB Perak sedangkan MB yang sedia masih memegang jawatan secara sah. Hj Nizar dilantik oleh Tuanku, tetapi Tuanku tidak ada kuasa melucutkan jawatan MB setelah dilantik. Jawatan Hj Nizar sebagai MB akan terlucut hanya apabila DUN dibubarkan, Hj Nizar meletakan jawatan dan juga melalui usul undi tidak percaya di DUN ataupun Hj Nizar hilang kelayakan sebagai ADUN. Semua proses tersebut tidak berlaku ke atas Hj Nizar. Ini bermakna beliau masih sah sebagai MB Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat sehingga sekarang.

Pada tahun 1974 telah berlaku kemelut atau krisis seumpama ini di Perak. Ghazali Jawi tidak diperkenan oleh Sultan Idris sebagai MB. Tuanku diperdaya kononnya Ghazali Jawi menjadi MB selama 2 tahun sahaja. Ada yang menasihati Tuanku bahawa tidak ada peruntukan dalam Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri Perak seorang MB dilantik hanya untuk tempoh 2 tahun. Tuanku Sultan Idris murka di atas kerja licik UMNO yang memperdayakannya. Tuanku minta Ghazali Jawi letak jawatan, tetapi tidak dihiraukan. Krisis semakin parah ketika itu. Tuanku bernazar selagi Ghazali Jawi tidak letakkan jawatan, baginda tidak akan mencukur janggut, jambang dan misai. Ada yang memberitahu saya, sebagai tanda protes Tuanku telah membawa keretapi dari Ipoh ke Tg. Malim seorang diri (cerita ini tidak ada yang mengesahkan kebenarannya). Pemuda UMNO ketika itu dengan lantang menyatakan kepada Tuanku bahawa Sultan mempunyai kuasa melantik MB, tetapi tidak ada kuasa melucutkan jawatan MB.

Najib memberi alasan sidang DUN tidak boleh diadakan kerana kes kesahihan kerajaan BN masih dalam perbicaraan di mahkamah. Kalau itu alasannya, Zambry juga tidak boleh menjalankan tugas sebagai MB, menggunakan semua kemudahan sebagai MB, menerima apa-apa elaun sebagai MB, kerana Zambry juga sedang dibicarakan di Mahkamah Tinggi. Kalau begitu, selama menunggu kes tersebut diputuskan oleh Mahkamah Tinggi, yang lebih berhak sebagai MB bagi mengurus tadbir negeri Perak ialah Dato' Seri Hj Nizar Jamaluddin.

Semalam, Setiausaha DUN Perak, Abdullah Antong mengatakan bahawa Sidang Tergempar DUN Perak tidak sah diadakan kerana tidak mendapat perkenan Tuanku terlebih dahulu. Dua sebab yang berbeza, Najib kata tidak sah kerana masih dibicarakan di mahkamah tinggi, Abdullah Antong kata tidak sah keranan tidak mendapat perkenan Tuanku.

Jawapannya dua-dua tidak betul. Speaker Sivakumar lebih betul kerana inilah kuasa Speaker yang sebenar. Mungkin terdapat berbagai-bagai tafsiran dalam memahami kuasa Speaker, tetapi menurut Perintah-perintah Tetap DUN Perak, fasal 89 bahawa Keputusan Tuan Speaker berkenaan dengan sebarang tafsiran dalam mana-mana Perintah-perintah tetap ini atau berkenaan dengan sebarang amalan tertakluk kepada usul yang dibawa dengan maksud itu, adalah muktamad, dan Tuan Speaker dari semasa ke semasa, boleh mengeluarkan keputusan-keputusan berkenaan dengan perkara-perkara ini.

Jelas sidang tergempar DUN pada 3hb Mac ini adalah sah dan muktamad. Tidak ada pihak lain boleh pertikaikan, sila bawa ke mahkamah sekiranya didapati melanggar peraturan. Sewaktu Speaker sebagai Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Hak dan Kebebasan mengambil keputusan mengantung Zambry selama 18 bulan dan 6 exco haram selama 12 bulan daripada menghadiri sidang dewan, mereka juga yang mempertikaikan, sehingga sekarang mereka tidak seret Sivakumar ke mahkamah, sebaliknya SPRM pula yang menyiasat Speaker.

Saya percaya krisis perlembagaan dan politik Perak akan berpanjangan, tidak ada jalan terbaik melainkan Tuanku perkenan bubar DUN supaya rakyat memilih semula kerajaan baru bagi menerajui negeri Perak. Bila ada pilihanraya 2 kemungkinan sahaja samada Pakatan Rakyat Menang Besar atau BN kalah teruk.-misabah blogspot com

its always nasty when on the receiving side.

So, if the the judiciary is going to intrude into the legislative branch's decisions, etc. then maybe the legislative branch should intrude into the judciaries. Legislate that the judges must be a certain qualification, that their assets must be audited every year, etc. It's only fair, right?
UMNO is tearing the fabric of society apart. There are no more checks and balances, all in their vain attempt to secure power in Perak!
Now, they know how it feels like to have the shoe on the other foot!
Hahaha . . . serves them right!

Isn't there a difference between decision of a committee and state assembly?

See http://www.nst.com.my/Current_...index_html

If the courts can issue an injunction, then I suppose the judiciary will then have superiority over the legislature. Is this an abandonment of the "Westminster" model to the "Malaysian" model ?

Then you can say bye bye to foreign investment returning in big numbers to Malaysia.

Y cant the BN is concurred to a dissolve the assembly? Layman will surely know dissolving the assembly is the only way to resolve tis impasse & dun drag the Perakian in to tis shit.. U, BN is the culprit should the Perakian suffer economically by ur stupidity. I hope the Perakian will understand n dun blame the PR for tis impasse. SNAP ELECTION is THE WAY OUT.

Now BN realised the power & the righteous of the Speaker. So if BN thought Speaker is wrong..then simply dont attend the assembly lah...why so afraid.
So BN now conscious of thier consequences. Its just matter of time..they show thier BRUTE force..instead of Brain. So who is actually following the law??

To Zamry.."do you know what is ...
Democracy ?? "
Dont tell the media what is DEMOCRACY..ask yourselves what fool you are..on your quote.

Hello dr zambry, you know very well that the court has no jurisdication over the speaker. Then why are you filing an injunction in high court. Are you creating a precedent for the future generation to follow your stupid steps. Incase the high court hear the case, then i have got no words to explain even the law is clearly stated that the speaker decision is final. Go back and think, zamry, all this happening now coz this rules will played by UMNO for the past 50 years or so. Now is coming back to you itself.
the best to do now is go back to the rakyat and let them decide who they want as their state leader. If UMNO keeps dragging this issue and use all their powers to again grapped the Perak state, then people will come back to you again in the next general election wheather you put all the opposition leader under ISA or whatever other mean you find it fit. People today are totally different from yesteryears. If Najib uses the same method use by Tun Mahathir - then he is making a wrong move again. Important now is to gain the people confident so that you will be strong otherwise down to go to the drain for a party which has been existing for more than five decades. Look around our neighbour country - similar downfall is happening and has happened, ............................................

umno-bn is ILLEGITIMATE-PERIOD.

Interesting to see how a court takes control of the legislature. As I know, the Judiciary interprets and metes out justice based on laws created by the legislative. Thats separation of power. Now the Executive wants to use the Judiciary to control the Legislative. Interesting!!!
If it happens, a precedence is created and this will have lasting effect on the Malaysian Parliament's independence Interestiiiiiiing!!!!!

Very curious that Zambry legal team can actually come up with this idea. Dont they know that the Court would not and cannot interfere with the decision of the the speaker of an assembly... ?

I hope the judge who hear this case would have the courage and dignity to dismiss this sham application....if not it would set a dangerous precedent at the expense of democracy.

Sorry to say this but it seems like UMNO members are least smarter person in the face of the earth. Why? They are making so many stupid move. They have the "ciri-ciri" kebudak-budakan dan kebodohan. How can Najis lead the country? How can the UMNO lead the BN party? Its time to MCA and MIC to revolt!!! and join PR!

Are you saying tommorrow someone can file an injunction at the court to stop Parliament from sitting ? This is real joke from UMNO.

UMNO seems to be bankrupt of ideas.

Now I know why the Speaker’s position is so importance and powerful. Sivakumar, you done us proud. As a Perakian, I salute you. Let us fight this out. Let the people in Perak to decide who should by governing the beautiful state of Perak. Let those who thinks that they can switch side after an election to think twice before doing it.

Once again, Mr Sivakumar, you are doing a great job. With such a heavy burden on your shoulder, don’t let them get away. Stealing in any languages or culture is a crime and is punishable in the court of law.

To the legitimate PR MB and the entire Exco team, hang in there. Victory is in sight.

BTW, how come our good friends the MCA and MIC are so quite about this unfortunate even happening in Perak? Could it be that they knew that PR is right and the racist party UMNO is wrong. At least you 2 running dog parties have some sense of guilt in the saga.

Now the Ipoh High Court Judge is brought into the picture. We will see the judiciary independence. One is they get an isntruction from the TOP Judiciary to rule it BN way or he will have his job replaced if he decides otherwise.

We will see if the judge is a Respected or Credible Judge. We have lost confidence in our Ex-Lord PResident who talks bout law but not do what he say when this crisis came up. He contradict himself when he allowed the formation of the illegal government. I am not surprised if the judge gives the injunction to help BN go to the Sultan of Perak and again get him to be involved.

I really think if the royalty gets involved again, they will be made the biggest villain in malaysia, again by UMNO!!!

Let us see who si the judge and his decision! Meanwhile, we need to protect the Perak Speaker - You never know what UMNO may do. They will not allow the Speaker to go in the State Assembly, hope PR has the resources to protect our very important friend!!!

Everything that BN is doing or trying to do seems to be always against the rule of law or against the spirit of the Constitution or even the interest of the people!

For anything and everything that they could not justify, they will always use the Sultan's position as an excuse, a shield or as a reason or as a justification for their existence or their rights as "elected" representative of the state. What they will never ever do or dare to do is to go back to the people to ask for their blessings and support to elect them as their representatives!

How could you ever justify a government who do just about everything to stay in power but dares not go back to the people who are supposed to elect them to their positions to confirm that they are the peoples'' choice as their representatives? Is this because they had just gone against the wishes of the people by underhandedly robbing the people of Perak of the government they had voted for and are wrongfully using all the resources of the state or federal government to contain the fury of the people and to maintain the control of the state they had grabbed ?

A government who is afraid of being thrown out of their supposedly "legalised positions" as the peoples'
reprentatives by the very people who are supposed to have chosen them to be their representatives should NEVER ever remain in such positions because they have lost the confidence of those voters.

A truly acceptable government will never be afraid to go back to the supporters to reaffirm the voters' confidence and support for them. It's only those who knows that they are not legitimate representatives or who do not command the respect and support of the very voters whom they are supposed to represent, that will always refuse to allow the rightful participants to exercise their rights to vote out any unacceptable parties who keeps claiming to represent them.

Legal and legitimate representatives will always refer their positions back to the voters/ supporters but any illegal or illegitimate claimants will always hide behind shadows of the sultan and all sorts of threats to maintain their illegitimate positions. The cow has now come home to roost!

Can the real Menteri Besar of Perak please stand up and present yourself to the people whom you have claimed to represent and then, dissolve the state assembly in order that the very people whom you had all these while confidently claimed to represent with their full support, can once and for all make the very simple decision that had caused (and the authorities had allowed) such a simple issue to have degenerated into a nightmare for the people of Perak.

Only the false and illegitimate or maybe illegal Menteri Besar will not dare to allow the people of Perak to choose their own government - even when the people are clamouring to be given such an opportunity in order to solve the Perak problem once and for all. Why allow the people of Perak to continue to suffer when a simple yes to the dissolution of the state assembly will solve the whole mess that Perak now finds itself in?

Do we now know who is the legitimate and who is the illegitimate government in Perak? Their actions always speaks louder than words could ever!

Looks like this can be a 'Kisah Benar' episode, or even better like Star Wars, Episode VII - Return of the Dark Empire (BN)

Is this the end of democracy in Malaysia. Are we turning into a Zimbabwe or Myanmar ?

Any judge who decides that he can interfere in the Legislature should be stripped of his post and sent back to law school.

Zambry is also a fool to seek the court's interference. He's asking the court to do something it has no right to.

Who are these bigots yelling disloyalty to the King? Hiding behind the palace again. What about disloyalty to the constitution? The constitution is bigger than the King!

Crazy! Mr "Zombie" Zambry crying to the Courts to stop Mr Sivakumar from holding the emergency sitting or suspending him and his EXCOs, is someone like going to the Police and pleading them to instruct the head or owner of a house what he or she may or may not do in their own home. This is getting absurd. And "Zombie" Zambry must be have a few screws loose.

UMNO IS SO AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE!!!

This shows how desperate and wild the UMNO fellows are. They are stuck and no other tricks and they now run to court. Their act is just to try luck and show their powers and money to the judges. If at all the court allows an injunction then the judge who grant it should be suspended for working against the consitution. This judge should be condemn.

The suit against the speaker may not stand as it is an abuse of court process however they mayget an ex parte injunction valid for 21 days thus making Zambry and exco able to attend the assembly tommorrow. Pakatan lawyers should write to court and give notice immediately, this will avert the exparte injuction hearing.

The Court have no power to rule on this issue and has no business to involve itself in this issue.

To do so would mean that the court is pretending to weild powers that it does not have and is ultra vires the Constitution and would mean that the judge had acted in treason against the Constitution.

Those who dared to venture into acts of treasons do so at their own risk! Whether judges, prime ministers or high ranking prominent persons of status, everyone is treated as equal under the Constitution and any attempt to desicrate the Constitution should be held in treason.

If the current government chose to ignore such acts, the next government should look closely into such transgressions and should take appropriate actions against those who seek to compromise the rule of law of the nation. This measure should at least reduce any further attempts to continually raping the rules of law of the country - except for the hardcore hopeless cases!.

Likewise, any new government should also look into the corrupt practices that had so blatantly drained the country dry and the cases of defections that had caused so much anxiety should be revisited to put things right!

Malaysia deserves better!

Hey Zambry, your boss already say the assembly illegal, why you want to attend?

As we have seen many many times - UNMO will not hesitate to play dirty ... who knows, our dear Speaker V. Sivakumar may be arrested under ISA for spitting on the streets 5 years ago!!!!

I just cannot imagine them losing gracefully after going thru all the trouble to win "Perak". Also, I wonder if those "BN friendly reps" will get whatever they are promised if fresh elections are called ... technically they did not deliver anything meaningful to BN.

I hope everything will turn out all right and nobody get hurt, but with sore losers around - who can tell?

UMNO might deploy FRU with water cannon to disperse the assembly tomorrow or draw some lame excuse and ISA the speaker tonight.

Be prepared to see more shirt-pulling and elbowing dirty tricks from UMNO.

The DUN will be closed and locked tmr, got this news frm Malaysiakini.

dear sultan,you still refuse to dissolve the state assembly now, what are you thinking?

It is very shamefull to read and listen that UMNO lead BN is afraid and coward to challenge PR in the ballot boxes. The fake Perak MB Zambry is hidding behind the yellow pants to hold on power but he is unwanted and rejected by all Perakians. You can say 80% Perakians want their rights to choose their own leaders irrespective of BN or PR but only 20% hardcore Perakians are silent about the battle since they are too busy cari makan due to poor economy state in Perak. What a bloodly move by UMNO to find ways to stop the People Power to hold a democratic assembly to call a snap election in Perak ? They used all dirty means and corrupt methods to ensure their greeds retained without respect to Perakians.

All Malaysians are disgusted and angry with the mob UMNO Youth gangsterism in Parliament last few days and now UMNO Perak is doing another hooligans to push for an injunction on people rights for an assembly and call for a snap election in Perak. Hello ! MCA, Gerakan, PPP and MIC are lap dogs in BN are still silent and shut up on their Master action in court action against the People Power. Why they keep their BIG MOUTH shut today?

Malaysians say enough is enough before BN is called People Pirates and PR is People Power (Ketuanan Rakyat)

Karpal Singh said SINGH IS KING in Parliament. Now Perakians say ZAMBRY IS ZIMBABWE yang buat hulu hala dan kacau bilau di negeri Perak. Adohai! Kini Malaysians and Perakians are suffering from economy decline and financial crisis. The fake MB is using his pirate tactics to call judge for an injunction against people power for their rights to call a snap election in Perak. Makkal Sakti of all Perakians will unite to defeat the evil forces of UMNO whereas MCA, MIC and Gerakan are silent slap dogs now. Tun Dr M boleh ketawa tenguk sandiwara di Perak......He! He! He!

the state secretary of perak has already CLOSED the DOOR of the STATE GOVERNMENT BUILDING.......TO PREVENT PR MB'S TO HAVE EMERGENCY STATE ASSEMBLY.......

Just come with ladders....they can climb over the fence.

This is getting ridiculous, now they are going to lock up the gate. Police also getting involved. Looks like Police also expert in Constitution law by declaring that the meeting is invalid. Come on Sultan, do something, this is a major embarrassment to you and your State. maybe Pakatan had been digging tunnels to enter the building. Remember Gaza tunnels, Cu Ci tunnels in Vietnam? Nothing surprises me anymore in Perak. Its like a cartoon show.

The more BN doing, the more public see that it is desperate move that going way out of track of law.
Perakian also observing the action of police, state secretary, judicial and etc....whether they are being fair.

The secretary down to the Police officer's who intend tp stop emergency sitting of the state assembly , damm, cannot be taught. Are they getting pays from BN...

Shame on you..

Aiyohhh.. so takut until must lock up gates! How the rakyat despise the acts of those who have to resort to this measure and call on the civil servants to do their dirty jobs!

UMNO, having tasted and wielded power for the past 50 years are still lurching about drunk with power.And the party looks increasingly menacing, treating the law with impunity; thumbing their noses at the people. Its so sad that its come to this. I am sure the founding fathers of Malaysia (including UMNO), did not want this to happen. I only hope that the rakyat will be patient and wait to destroy UMNO at the ballot box. Do not resort to street violence, that will only favour the terrorist organization UMNO.

Look what the Sultan has done!!

Time to admit mistakes and correct them. Everyone makes mistakes. We're all human after.

But what is more important is what you do to fix those mistakes.

A leader that makes mistakes but doesn't admit of fix it doesn't earn my respect at all.

Since BN have no respect for the law I might as well declare a public holiday for myself tomorrow. Hell I might as well declare myself PM of Malaysia. Since all you need to do these days is go around and tell everybody you are PM and you are PM.

ANOTHER GOVERNMENT DOUBLE-STANDARD PROCEDURES. WHEN THEY ARE IN A BIG RISK OF LOSING THE PERAK GOVERNMENT, THEY ARE HASTY TO MAKE SURE THE ASSEMBLY DOESN'T CONVENE TOMORROW. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DEMOCRATIC IN MALAYSIA ANYMORE!!!!

All that the PR government ask is to dissolve the Perak State Assembly and have a snap election for the citizens of Perak to elect the government they want. They are not usurping or clinging on to power. They are merely following the democratic process. The reverse is true for the BN Government.

I don't know whether BN and the Sultan of Perak realise the folly of these high-handed actions including of the issue of an unsigned circular to close the state assembly building and the locking of the state assembly building. It is just shameful the extent people can go to cling on to power.

Years from now, all right thinking Malaysians will read in History the horrors and desperation of an unpopular BN Government in clinging to power despite the rakyat's rejection of their rule. History will also show that the Sultan of Perak inspite of his learned knowledge in law has done nothing to stop a high-handed undemocratic process and has a hand in this shameful episode in Perak's democracy process.

Bear this in mind - Najib and the Sultan of Perak! History will judge your actions today!

Are we following Zimbabwe ? Is this a democratic country ?...Do we have laws here ? Who gives the police the authority to do that ? CELAKA !!!

Desperado!! Resorting to brute...ridiculously lock the building. Getting arm force to guard the area. Tell me..Zamry, do you know what is DEMOCRASY??

The Perak police chief also issued a statement this afternoon in which he said the emergency sitting is “invalid” and advised members of the public not to gather at the state assembly.

POLICE already decided is "Invalid" and the FRU and water cannons are out in force. Sad day. Lower ranking uniform men really take orders blindly.

My advice to state government of Selangor, Penang and Kedah, please sack your state secretary and also your speaker's secretary before it happen to you also

How can a civil servant take part in this political issue? I think this is a bit too much. When a civil servant is involved, the country is in deep trouble. It is time the voters take back the country.

To thwart the course of the 'doctrine of powers' in the greedy rapist interests of UMNO and its cronies, the BN and its running dogs will do anything to ruin this country.

All that interests them is the looting and squandering of public funds in every conceivable and inconceivable way ably assisted by the other cronies in the component parties of BN and supported by the 'goon squads'.

Zambia shoul;d semnd its Civil Servants - if there are any there - to under study in Malaysia's 'School of Politics" where even Civil Servants with hare brains have the audacity to question and obstruct the Legislature of the State and the Country.

Are we headed for a death fall after YAB Badawi leaves us all.

go PR, full support from me!!!

it's suck BN , face to perakian

Welcome to the "Sultanate" of Perak where the de facto "ruler" is UMNO.

UMNO forever?

Do the BN goons know how to read? The constitution clearly states that the actions of the speaker are beyond the jurisdiction of the courts, yet they persist to file their illegal suits.

Locking up the state secretariat is thuggish behaviour typical of Umno. Just go back to the people, you cowards!

perdandingan piala dewan rakyat negeri perak amatlah menarik......iaitu antara pasukan BN melawan Pakatan , bila 7 permain pasukan BN telah diberikan kad merah oleh pengadil pada sesi pusingan baru-baru dan di gantung bermain selama ....
untuk menyelakan kekalah perdandingan seterusnya pasukan BN pula menguncikan padang perdandingan bagi menyelakan dari pada mengalami kekalahan teruk........
begitulah situasi mainan politik negara kita sekarang.................kesihan.....

BN is doing whatever it can to its advantage. PR did everything it could (including getting the Speaker to suspend the exco) to its advantage. This is politics. You try to out-maneuvre the opponent. The responses of so many die-hard PR supporters here betray the immaturity of the writers. Are we disgusted by tactics and strategies of political parties? Well, both sides engage in them, and whilst it is commendable to criticise the opponent for what they stand for on issues, it is another thing to condemn every tactic or strategy that is used by the opponent to your disadvantage.

People of perak. The state govt and state assembly are not working. don't pay your taxes now.
See how long the people can play games with money. Stop paying taxes

Sultan Perak,
Tengok2lah apa yg sudah berlaku kepada negeri Tuanku..hasil ketidakadilan Tuanku sendiri..
Sampai hatikah Tuanku melihat rakyat negeri Tuanku menderita samapi begini sekali....Belum terlambat Tuanku lakukan sesuatu yg betul!!!Bubarkan DUN Perak..!!!

My advice to state government of selangor, perak and kedah, please sack your state secretary and speaker secretay before it happens to you also

"The Perak police chief also issued a statement this afternoon in which he said the emergency sitting is “invalid” " How is that the police can come up with this kind of statement? They are suppose to be nuetral... It appears that all the institutions are against the PR...the police,the palace, the Federal Government, the Courts, the Election Commission, MACC, State Secretariat staff...etc....

ONLY the PEOPLE are with PR.....GOD Bless PERAK......

At least the rickshaw puller knows the constitution better then some BN lawmakers.

"BN is getting desperate"

The self-proclaimed "Constitutional Experts",
Haha, even rickshaw pullers and odd-job labourers can tell right from wrong, but you, a self-proclaimed expert, on the other hand, still enthral in silly perversivity.

Pity you, a doughnut without a soul and conscience.

Even if UMNO managed to pull it off with some dirty tricks tomorrow, it would only be a victory in taint and notoriety, no glory about it.

don't know what to say lah. use back door, side door, now close the front door, Ooooopzzzzz

Just let the assembly be dissolved. Why is UMNO so afraid of this? Just face an election, as simple as that. Who knows, the Malays may still be behind them. We who don't support the BN would like to know too. Once the law is abused and once you have infantile behavior like locking doors go unchecked, we are doomed as a country.
If we get to become Myanmar or Zimbabwe there may be no turning back. Thanks to UMNO, we are about to join the club!

Rakyat Perak, negeri kita akan jadi Timbaktu atau Zimbabwe, bilik dewan negeri di kunchi, polis digunakan untuk menahan semua exco, Hj Nizar, Sivakumar and lain lain exco. Ampun Tuanku kerana patik derhaka, timbul saja Najis di Perak, negeri ini di buat nya kucar kacir.
Tuanku, tolong bubarkan DUN, rakyat rasa menyampah saja dengan senerio merompak kuasa di Perak. Rakyat Perak, keluar lah ramai, sokong kerajaan Hj Nizar dan Exco Exco nya. Semenjak datang nya Najis ke Perak, semua rakyat tanggung banyak kesusahan dan kekacauan di sana sini, kerana polis blok sini, blok sana, bagi susah kepada rakyat saja
Lebih buruk lagi, melarang kerajaan Hj Nizar mengadakan mesyuarat tergempar DUN. Malu sekali, apa apa pun bolih jadi di Malaysia, atau ini lah budaya Malaysia Bolih,
Saya sering keluar negeri, bila di tanya orang luar negeri tentang politics Malaysia, malu saya, tidak ada apa yang bolih di banggakan.
Apa jua pun rakyat Perak tetap menyokong Kerajaan Hj Nizar

Hey UMNO, what has happened to you? Don't dare to face a state election is it?

Now you see for yourself the effort BN puts in to fight the PR....why was this same vigour and enthusiasm was not available when BN was fighting poverty ???

May I have ur attention Nizar and Guys,

You guys must MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER what the State's secretary and DUN's secretary did to you guys. One day if you guys happend to come back to power,these two clowns must be REMOVED WITHOUT MERCY AT ALL. No doubt they took order but THEIR HEAD MUST BE ROLLING ON THE FLOOR. No nonsense, no excuse. They must go without a single cent paid.

Barisan Nazi has no more ideas left... now using gangster tactics and physical force to close the gates. These clowns are taking M'sia back into the cavemen era.

Every people is seeing what actually happen in Perak ...For goodness sake,all concerned-parties,do something which your offsprings will proud of you...

This country is in a bloody mess. May god have mercy on our soul.

umno you have no guts. you are breaking the law. you are behaving as though you came from the space.

I'm not in Malaysia at this moment but I'd feel shy to be a Malaysian. My Opinion is, Police shouldn't be intervened into this issue & they have no right to say that the emergency siting is "Invalid"

What will happened on 3rd March?? will it be a most memorable day in Malaysia history?? Will Police really can stop the PR Goverment to hold the emergency sitting?? What will happened if Zambry win the course case tomorrow??

There are somany thing that can be happened tomorrow. Let' see what will happened.

Perak is now in a state of lawlessness, full of outlaws. Let's pray for a silver lining in the dark clouds of Perak!

Police should be the neutral man in politic. How can Perak Police Chief made such an announcement by saying the emergency siiting is "Invalid"

MACC need to arrest PPC for investigation.......

HELLO..... AIYO, DO THE ASSEMBLY ANYWHERE LAH.... SEE HOW THAILAND CABINET DID IT? U CAN DO IT ANYWHERE AS LONG AS MAJORITY OF VOTES CAN BE GATHERED. DO IT IN PULAU PANGKOR LA.... PEOPLE CANNOT WAIT FOR STATE BY-ELECTION..... LET'S UNITE AND PUNISH THE UMNO-LED DENGUE GOVERNMENT!

This is a sad, sad, sad day for Perakians and Malaysians in general. We can now see that when UMNO cannot win based on the law, they break the laws. The very government that is supposed to protect and defend the constitution of the country is now breaking it.

This shows a desperate attempt by UMNO to cling to power and knowing full well that they don't have the support of the Perakians.

No matter what your political affiliations is, the rule of laws must be followed. If the rule of laws can be cherry picked then there is no need for laws in the country. There is no need for elections, we can just turn the country into a military state.

Shame on UMNO. After over 50 years of governance, they think they are the law.

I would suggest to Nizar to bring a make-shift tent to the state assembly tomorrow. In case the gate of the state assembly is locked, open up the tent and hold the meeting at the gate of the state assembly in the full glare of all passers-by, local and foreign journalists, camera-men, tv crews, etc . You are still holding a meeting at the state assembly, is it not?

That will make a great impact and shame the ruling regime. Immediately, the whole world will know the absurdity and the high-handedness of the BN government and the Perak royalty. Let the world know the police doubles up as a judge who can decree that the meeting is invalid. Also let the world know that in Malaysia civil servants and the police can obey an UNSIGNED circular issued by a clerk but refuse to obey the boss!

This is the date which marked the death of malaysia's legislation.

Perak police will be recorded in the history as the running dog for UMNO.

Perak assembly lock-out ... BN Wrong Moves! Make all malaysians hatred upon you.If BN still persists to be ignorant and cant accept the decision made and cant accpe to loose (and never learnt until now).. "Locking up the gate and do whatever they want not according to the law" for sure the next moment will raise all perakians even malaysians hatred feelings towards BN and all Sultans. If Im not wrong, the next moment happened will be towards Sultan hatred until all people of perak to ask Sultan to resign and it will happen to all the Sutlans in all states until malaysia become like US or China. No Kings or Queens. You Najis and BN have made all people of malaysia to leave no choice and to make this move! Thanks to you! Barisan National! Thanks! I am not angry or sad anymore cause it happens and it will happens. Steady PR!

Next, the office boy will issue directives to the elected reps. How low has local demorcracy gone. What I see from here is an end to tyrany. sooner or later the people of perak will demand that they have the final say of who should hold the reigns of power. If so there will be a big question mark on the role of the rulers - especially with reference to what happened in Perak. Its sad but it won't be too soon that more shackles will be place on the rulers. As it is even the secretary of the house is having authoritive powers. Police who should not be part of the powers that decide on sitting are now taking on the role. Where does this anarchy leads us - reforms, revolution or upheaval. Hopefully its not the free for all types - when anarchy rules.

what a childish move by the state sect to LOCK THE GATE. what a dumb word from the state police chief to declare an EMERGENCY SITTING as INVALID, what a foolish lawyer to represent Zambry in TAKING LEGAL ACTION and SEEKING FOR INJUNCTION (1st thing 1st, how he got his LLB?) hmm.. really nonsense people doing nonsense things.. hmm..

ALL UMNO, MCA, MIC LEADERS OR BASICALLY ALL BN LEADERS ARE NOT FIT TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT. HELL, THEY ARE NOT FIT TO BE A STANDARD 1 CLASS MONITOR. EVEN CHILDREN KNOWS RULES ARE THERE TO BE FOLLOWED AND RULES ARE THERE TO BASICALLY PREVENT CHAOS. HERE WE HAVE SOME 40-60 YEARS OLD MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE CHILDISH, CRY BABIES, IGNORANT, SPOILED AND WORST OF ALL CRIMINAL ( WILLINGLY BREAKS LAW) IN THE TOP LEVEL OF OUR GOVERNMENT. I DON'T WANT THESE PEOPLE RUNNING MALAYSIA... THESE PEOPLE ARE BARBARIAN LITERALLY........WE ARE NOT IN THE DARK AGES!!!!

the secretary has miss used his duty responsible to serve UMNO, please report this to MACC !!
a low level secretary is trying to stop people elected DUN to hold assembly, ridiculous !!
and police is heard one side news from low level clerak instead of the speaker, rodiculous !!
is there any law here !!

well done to both parties i.e. BN and PR! Both of you creating unhappiness and to the extend act like a small child! Is this your true behaviour after millions spent during last GE? What a waste of time went for election!

The biggest joke here is the supporters are making the politicians like an idols or worst like GOD! Hey, wake up please...see what you have done to us...people that want to have peaceful life (please don't blame anyone here!)
While both of fighting like a cat and dog, our economy going from bad to worst (again don't blame anyone!) sigh...

Can both of you sacrifice and wait for 2 more years...then rakyat will decide again! Why need to spend $$$ again for snapp election with economic situation like this??? rakyat again need to waste our time going thru all this Rubbish!!! unless you (PR) know you are getting more $$$...

Moral of the story, No Power No $$$, No $$$ also can not show power....

We, rakyat knows what both (BN & PR) fighting for and pls stop saying democracy, good governence, equality, transparent, clean, etc....BULLSHIT!!!

To whoever supporters, pls be mindfull of what your comments here!!! You don't have work ha!!!

Yes the cat is out of the bag, now people can see the REAL unabridged version of DAP politics, interpreting our Laws to their whims and fancies based on whatever little powers that they have. These people just cause mayhem when people do not agree with them. Such arrogance and lust for power.

Imagine if this country is actually ruled by these DAP and Pakatan crowd, basing on the rabid comments of anybody whose opinion is against them or just being neutral, I think they will surely use the ISA to the maximum to lock up all dissenters and say it would be good for democracy.

When PAS joined the loose Pakatan grouping, I thought PAS would be a good balance for DAP and PKR maybe PAS with its Islamic agenda can dakwah the DAP a bit. Now it seems that DAP sudah mendakwah PAS both showing no respect to the Monarchy at all. PAS in Perak has lost its identity but then again PAS has many identities, depends on who the audience is.

Dear Nazrin, you spoke about integrity bla bla last week. Do follow up with actions.

Daulat PR, I love sodomy. Let PR control not only Perak but all in order for all of us to enjoy the freedom of sodomizing each other. Assured PR will pass this act in parliment. Thank you to all the PR leaders and supporters.

Let's all support the so-called PR. I want to see the real HUDUD law to be implemented in the country. This will definitely eradicates crimes and uphold the dignity of ISLAM. I am sure all MUSLIMs will agree with me. STOP the Boneka Menteri Besar in Perak. How can all these PAS leaders are so stupid let others control us just because of power crazy??? Tell the DAPs to fly kites.
