Zambry and his junta should be brought before the Committee of Privilege

Which Povision in the Perak Constitution allows Dr. Zambry & his junta to be appointed as MB & Exco?


The unconstitutional grab for power by Barisan National leaders has serious effects on the standing and good name of our august Perak State Assembly. Its reputation has been tarnished and the people are confused over how the government has been changed contrary to the Perak Constitution, which is the supreme law of our state.

As Dr. Zambry and his junta has acted contrary to the Perak Constitution and the Standing Orders of the Perak State Assembly, I have lodged a complaint against him by writing to the Speaker to convene the Committee of Privilege to hold an enquiry at the earliest possible date.

As Assemblymen and women, Dr. Zambry and his junta have sworn to “preserve, uphold and defend” the Perak Constitution. In total disregard for the Perak Constitution, they have proceeded to have themselves installed as “Menteri Besar & Exco” in violation of the Constitution. Menteri Besar Dato Seri Nizar and his Exco have neither resigned nor lost any vote of confidence in the Assembly. It is only after such events have occurred, can they consider themselves constitutionally competent to assume the office of government.

I am hopeful the Speaker will convene a meeting soon.

At the hearing of the Committee of Privileges, I shall ask Dr. Zambry and his junta this crucial question, which answer will expose the illegality of his government: Under which provision of the Perak Constitution do they base their right to form government.

I will call witnesses which will include the State Secretary and others who will help the committee to decide how to take appropriate actions the wrongdoers.

  1. Good move.

    Tell the BNs if they really wanted to be the Government of the people and not of royalty, BNs should make a vote of confidence in the assembly rather than doing it in the palace.
