Nizar enters final lap in race for Perak

(The Malaysian Insider) IPOH, Nov 5 — It is judgment day today for Perak as former Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin enters the final leg of his legal battle that could well turn the state’s entire political imbroglio upside down.

His fate now lies in the hands of the few who would man the Federal Court Bench when his appeal over the Mentri Besar’s post is brought before the court.

But Nizar wants a hand in determining his own fate too and has appealed to the apex court, by way of motion, for a full 11-man panel for his hearing.

In his application, Nizar has made one prayer — that justice is upheld and that the full Bench would be empanelled to at least give an impression of impartiality.

The motion will be heard in court at 9.30am today before the appeal proper and will likely be argued by former Bar Council president Datuk S. Ambiga.
