Perak speaker V Sivakumar may write to the Sultan of Perak requesting a postponement of the state legislative assembly sitting on 7 May following the Federal Court's ruling today to let the High Court decide on the rightful Perak menteri besar.
Perak DAP chairperson and Sitiawan assemblyperson Datuk Ngeh Khoo Ham said Sivakumar will likely decide on the matter and might write to the Sultan of Perak requesting a postponement.
"We might seek Tuanku's permission to postpone the sitting, because we don't see how it will proceed due to all the uncertainty.
Ngeh "If the assembly sits, the speaker might find it impossible to proceed because the court has not decided who is right government of the day; so the speaker can adjourn the sitting. But out of respect, maybe we would request Tuanku to postpone it," Ngeh told The Nut Graph when contacted.
The Pakatan Rakyat (PR)'s embattled Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin hinted as much to reporters after the Federal Court ruling.
He said he hoped the assembly sitting scheduled for 7 May would be postponed and would seek legal advice on the matter.
