Perak: May 7th, beam it to the world..
It is five days to go till the next sitting of the Perak State Assembly. This is an historic sitting. This event must be recorded in the Annals of the Malaysian history as well as humanity is concerned.
It is something that all Malaysian must teach their children and grandchildren on how democracy has been abused in Malaysia.
2. In the first place, I am not certain who had called the sitting of the Assembly. Zambry said it was done at HRH Perak Sultan instruction. However this is debateable. The calling of the sitting of the State Assembly is the prerogative of the Speaker which must be done with the consent of HRH. The MB has no power in advising HRH in calling for the sitting of the State Assembly. Unfortunately this is gross abuse of due process has been ignored by many.
3. I believe more abuse of due process will take place once the assembly sat on May 7th. These abuses will be in the form of coup de tat of the State Speaker position. The people have been primed with the news that Sivakumar will be replaced. After a while, people will get an idea that it is a normal process.
4. To reinforce the legality of their action in the State Assembly, Zambry is now issuing instruction via the State Secretary Office where limited number of media people will be allowed into the Assembly. The aim is very clear. Immediately after sitting has begun, news flashed will come out peaceful resolution and removal of the speaker has taken place. I would even believe, HRH speech on that day will carry message indicating his displeasure over Sivakumar and Nizar.
