The Perak state assembly's special privileges committee today suspended the state's newly-minted menteri besar Zambry Abdul Kadir and all his six executive councillors.
The decision was announced by Perak state assembly speaker V Sivakumar after the committee's inquiry proceeding in Ipoh this afternoon.
The BN Perak MB had acknowledge the position of the Speaker of the Perak DUN when he is said to have paid the Speaker a courtesy call on 17th March.
Soon after the suspension, the former keeper of Parliament called the Speaker's decision a "joke", how typical of this "racist racist racist .... joker".
Some members of Perak BN call the suspension against the rule of law. Now they are taking about the rule of law. What about taking over the Perak gomen with "jumping frogs"?
The newly-minted and now suspended MB now claims the Speaker is a liar when he claimed that he and the ex-co had not provided any explanantion why they have been newly minted. Could he and his ex-co explained why he is MB and why he has appointed non-elected ones to have ex-co powers and privileges and help to spend the hard-earned money of Perakians. Come, come explain to us Perakians. Don't just give those cheezy smiles which were caught by the TV crew. Get serious.
But according to legal experts namely Abdul Aziz Bari, a law professor at the International Islamic University and Karpal Singh of the Dap, the Perak Speaker has these suspension powers.
Long live the Pakatan MB. Perakians are still waiting to confirm you in your rightful position. Let us have our say. Dissolve the state assembly and have a snap election.
In a few hours more, the Federal Court will hear the appeal against RPK’s ISA release. RPK is expecting to lose in this appeal and that would mean that he will be going back to the so-called Kem Perlindungan in Kamunting.
What is frightening is what RPK will do if he is detained under the ISA again. Read this article by RPK.
He, like most of us, is aware that there is still much to be done. He says ::"This country needs major political, economic and social reforms. The next two years are going to be most trying years indeed". So he should NOT be deciding to separate "his soul from his body".
RPK be strong there is much more to be done together. Our prayers go to you and we pray that the 3 judges concerned will do justice.
Today Malaysia woke up to another low. This time it involves the public circulation of nude photos of a Selangor Adun.
The Adun concerned has come out with a statement that the photos were obtained without her knowledge and consent and rightly, she is the victim in this episode.
But there is this obvious idiot, maybe it might be better not to call him that as the international society of idiots might take offence, who has come out questioning her morality and ability to carry out her public functions. This guy obviously cannot understand that she is the victim, this inability might then make this guy obviously sounding quite idiotic.
The Rakyat has come out resoundingly supportive of her and rightly condemning the perpetrator.
Her party colleagues have also come out in support. One has even called the culprit, a prostitute.
Then we have half-hearted qualified sympathies expressed by members from the other side of the political divide. Slightly better than that Toyo chap but unsure of what is the right thing to do hence their qualified sympathies.
At least the MCA Wanita chief had some right things to say. Datin Chew Mei Fun took to task the person or persons responsible for circulating nude pictures of Eli and said the act was an outright invasion of privacy of women as well as an exploitation of women for political use.
Okay, Eli, this episode can only make you better and stronger to fight against all these low lives and here the media that exposed these photos are included and don't allow them to get you down. Stay on and fight the good fight. You know that the Rakyat is with you.
The newly minted legal or not MB of Perak has been making his rounds after having been sworn in on 7th Feb 2009.
Last night at the MCA Dr Mah organised CNY celebration he gave away RM30K to the Sam Tet orchestra, which he proclaimed at the same time to be of international standard. Hey, hey we have an orchestra-loving expert for a MB. Hee, hee, hee. Now, now whose money did he give away. As predicted earlier, he also showed his command of cantonese and mandarin and tamil by spewing forth "Kong Hei Fatt Choy", "Xie xie" and "Nandri".
Today, he was at the Kallumalai Sri Subramaniam temple where he announced an immediate allocation of RM100,000 for the Thaipusam celebrations. But as far as winning hearts, he was beaten by Pakatan Perak MB, who walked today from the old Tokyo Hotel off Anderson Road to the temple and had only bottled "sui" (water) to offer from a Pakatan Rakyat (PR) stall at the entrance of the temple.
Do you know what the newly minted Perak BN MB had to say about the BN way of solving problems? "We use the water (sui) approach," he said to the good folks of Ipoh at their CNY open house do.
So if he is allowed to continue as MB, we know how he is going to "kau thim" problems, just "kor sui lah".
If you are unsure what "kau thim", "sui" and "kor sui" means, just ask those cantonese speaking Rakyat of Ipoh or better still ask Hee, Hee, Hee.
Whatever other may feel regarding the constitutionality 11th Perak MB, this Perakian feels cheated and dismayed and disgusted and extremely pissed with all those responsible for the creation of this froggie 11th Perak MB.
The State of Perak in Malaysia is unique, as of the 6th of Feb 2009 in the 25th Silver Jubilee year of the Reign of DYMM Paduka Seri Sultan Azlan Muhibbuddin Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Yusuff Izzuddin Shah Ghafarullahu-Lah, as it has been conferred with two menteri besars!
The first being :: Pakatan's Mohd Nizar and the second being newly minted, legally or not, BN's Dr Zambry.
The first menteri besar has his exco members with him and even held an exco meeting at his official residence this morning. Why at his official residence? Simple, he has been locked out of his official office lah.
The second menteri besar, meanwhile, has been busy trying to win over the hearts and minds of his new "subjects". According to this Malaysian Insider report, at the first public function of the newly minted MB, "newspaper photographers had been told to focus on him shaking hands with Chinese and Indians". Pretty pathetic. At the next function, would he be recorded having spewed out a few words of tamil and cantonese.
By the 10th of Feb 2009, in the 25th Silver Jubilee year of the Reign of DYMM Paduka Seri Sultan Azlan Muhibbuddin Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Yusuff Izzuddin Shah Ghafarullahu-Lah, Perakians will wake up to the presence of a legally or not second set of exco members.
For these gifts of 2 MBs and 2 sets of exco members, the Perakians would have to thank their highly educated, intelligent, compassionate, full of wisdom Sultan, Sultan DYMM Paduka Seri Sultan Azlan Muhibbuddin Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Yusuff Izzuddin Shah Ghafarullahu-Lah, who in the 25th Silver Jubilee year of the Reign of DYMM Paduka Seri Sultan Azlan Muhibbuddin Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Yusuff Izzuddin Shah Ghafarullahu-Lah, made it possible by showering these gifts on his subjects.
But wanting only one government, the government of their own choice, the Perakians have found their Sultan wanting.
The 11th Perak MB has been sworn in in Istana Iskandariah KK this afternoon while tear gas was fired at Perakians protesting the denial of having their voice heard.
The legality of the 11th Perak MB is being questioned by the Pakatan coalition and many, many, many Perakians. Perakians are disgusted, disappointed and angry at the way the Pakatan Government in Perak has been hijacked and a BN MB introduced using dubious method by the backdoor.
Read this online petition :: A Plea to Defend the Voice of the People and if you agree and would like the voice returned to Perakians, please do sign it.
Day of Infamy in Perak
Today will be long remembered as a "Day of Infamy in Perak".
Imagine the one you have sworn loyalty and allegiance to stabbing you in the back. There was so much sweet and sugared talk by him and his son on the supremacy of the constitution, the need for an independent judiciary blah blah blah. When he had the golden opportunity to do right by his Rakyat, he gave them a right royal letdown. He forgot his righteous and join the 'brigands' out to seize the government of his state. He refused to answer his rakyat calls and cries and to say that he greatly disappointed his rakyat, that would be the understatement on this "Day of Infamy in Perak".
His Rakyat had such high hopes, after his talk, and that this righteous ruler would stand by his Rakyat but what did we get in return. He is now willing to offer the governance of his Rakyat to a band of men, amongst whom are katak and allegedly corrupted ones. A band of men rejected by the majority of his Rakyat.
Why has this "Day of Infamy in Perak" been allowed to happen? Is there something that the Rakyat is unaware of? Will His Royal Highness enlighten the Rakyat.
There is a higher power than His Royal Highness who will abdjucate on this "Day of Infamy in Perak" and the day of reckoning will be upon those who have allowed it to take place. Justice will be done then.
Rakyat keep your eyes open and see.
But then it is still not too late for His Royal Highness to do the right thing by his Rakyat. Allow his Rakyat to voice out clearly which political party they want to govern them. Return this right to your Rakyat. Do what is right. Do not be remembered in history for being the creator of this "Day of Infamy in Perak".
