Perak Crisis: Whats Next?
Ashraf Hamid
The perak crisis continues without solution. When this will end we don’t know. On 11th of may the court ruled that Nizar was the rightful MB.
All pakatan’s supporter were happy but that good mood turned bad the day after where the high court decision was suspended while waiting for zambri’s appeal to be decided by appellate court. A week later, the appeal court overruled the high court’s decision and declared zambry as legitimate MB. All 3 judges allowed the appeal. Now, its niizar’s turn to appeal and bring the case to the apex court.
One more time the judicial independence is questioned by Malaysian public. Some pakatan’s supporter said they don’t trust the judges. They only trust the high court’s judge which ruled nizar as rightful MB. Pas vice president said, the situation in the court is much different where we can see many umno leaders there. This situation didn’t happen previously in the high court. It seems, they have already known the verdict. Just being there waiting for the decision to be announced. At this point, I still believe the independency of our judiciary by looking at the judgment. It is not baseless and has strong reasons. We cannot just simply say our judiciary has collapsed. Look at the judgment first before making any stand.
