IPOH, May 13 - A press conference held by Datuk Zambry Abdul Kadir here today has given the impression, perhaps intentionally, that Perak's caretaker mentri besar intends to seal his position as the state's chief executive.
This impression was further reinforced when Zambry announced that various projects initiated under Barisan Nasional's short tenure, including the Ipoh airport development, would continue as planned.
Just yesterday, Perak plunged into yet another impasse following the Court of Appeal's decision to put on hold the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruling declaring Pakatan Rakyat's (PR) Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin as the rightful MB.
But in today's press conference, Zambry signalled his intention to resume his duties despite doubts remaining about the legitimacy of his position.
"It's business as usual for me and the excos," he said. "I had an exco meeting today and we discussed administration issues and other things that needed the approval of the excos," he added.
Zambry said the Ipoh airport project, a project Nizar and his administration had laid claim to, would now be developed by the BN state government.
"Our priority is the extension of the airport runway. I have spoken to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak about this and he told me that this was the priority," said Zambry, who also said that the airport would contribute to economic growth in the state.
Malaysian Airlines subsidiary Firefly and private low cost carrier AirAsia have been in talks with the state government to fly from here, said Zambry.
He also said that the BN state government plans to develop a medical university in the state. The project, he added, had reached its final phase.
He also tried to reassure potential investors when asked about what would happen if the court rejected his appeal against the KL High Court ruling.
"I would like to urge the investors that the court ruling will not affect anything. The investors are welcome here, the government will help them out.
"When it comes to business, Perakians are very serious," he said.

The high court has ruled that Nizar is the legitimate MB and you managed to get a stay of execution.
It simply means that you have to appeal for your position in the Court of Appeal.It does not mean that you are the legitimate MB
In other words there is no MB in Perak for the time being.
If you still go about with business as usual attitude, it is going to have repercussions later if you were to loose your appeal. Of course you might not feel the whole effect of the repercussions yourself, it is the people of Perak who will feel it more.

Go and dissolve the assembly and let the Perakians decides on the issue rather than going up and down in Court. How you expect the public to respect Politicians. As always said - where got politician with Principles and Values.

Business as usual for the UMNO crooks in Perak to continue to rape and plunder the state!

Zambry can appeal but until the appeal came through, isn't the valid MB has been decided, which is Nizar.
So Zambry is the bogus MB. Until Zambry appeal is won, my advise to Zambry is to start looking for another job. We do not want you and that is final.

Didn't they always warn the rakyat that rule of law must be obeyed and that no one is above the law?! How come now he is one who continues to rule as an outlaw for the State? Is this not contempt of court order?!
An order of stay is merely to set aside the execution of the verdict and it's nothing like an order to revoke the high court judgment. Zamri is still an illegitimate MB as long as Nizar has claimed ownership of the post and the courts also allowed! The fake MB is held responsible for trespassing to the State office and any decision he makes in default is tantamount to CBT, a breach of public interests!

Zambry appeals and Judge Ramli allow stay of execution.
Since the high court rule Nizar is the legitimate MB then it means Zambry is the illegitimate MB.
Until the court of appeal quash the High court ruling, Nizar remain legitimate and Zambry is still mr Nobody. Can someone tell me how can the stay of execution put Zambry as MB?

that is one of the reason why malaysia in the foreign eyes, a shitty investment target because of so many pretenders to the throne by bullying the legitimate officials, playing games to serious stuff, wasting investor's time and money!
Who dares to invest in your Haram government? and your press conference today is even more childish!you send a wrong message to the investor, and thiinking that they are as stupid as you?what you do today is telling the investor that, if they break the law, they can stil stay in business, because yoiu and your government is doing the same of ignoring the meaning of legality.
perhaps you think that everyone including the investors are mandela/gandhi/ king, as 'smart' as you?

After all, laughter is good medicine and helps to keep as in perfect health. Keep on making a fool of yourself, Bozo. Malaysians need more people like you.

Pertama: Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan: Kamu telah mencabul hak rakyat, merampas kuasa dengan penuh ketakburan. Akan ada balasan yang menanti kamu.
Kedua:Kesetiaan kepada Raja dan negara: kamu mengheret Tuanku Sultan ke dalam krisis sehingga mengakibatkan kedaulatan baginda terjejas. Munculnya golongan yang sanggup menghina kedaulatan Sultan. Kamu memang penderhaka.
Ketiga: Keluhuran perlembagaan: Kamu membelakangkan perlembagaan negeri sendiri. Menubuh kerajaan mengikut undang-undang rimba yang kamu tetapkan.
Keempat: Kedaulatan undang-undang: Kamu membuatkan undang-undang terkubur di Perak. Rakyat kehilangan rezeki semata-mata untuk membolehkan kamu menimbulkan kekecohan di dalam DUN. Rakyat yang seronok menikmati sarapan tiba-tiba diheret ke dalam trak polis.
Kelima: Kesopanan dan kesusilaan: Tengoklah anak-anak buah kamu, kata-kata kesat dilemparkan tanpa rasa malu, Speaker yang berkuasa diseret keluar dengan kekasaran dan budaya samseng menjadi-jadi dalam kalangan geng kamu.
Kamu tidak layak menjadi MB malah rakyat Malaysia kerana kamu buta tentang perkara yang asas untuk menjadi anak Malaysia.

How could an INVALID?ILLEGALl MB qualify to talk ?
When the High Court ruling Zam biribiri is not a TRUE MB and it means from 207 onward his position as MB is already INVALID or illegal , how come the Appeal Court granted a stay of ruling when High Court rejected outright his stay of execution.
UP SIDE DOWN NONSENSE LOGIC !!!
OUR NATION IS SICK BECAUSE OF OUR SICK LEADERS.
