The Federal Court had heard the application by Zambry for his “fast-track” application on who is the rightful MB in Perak.
The 5 judges-panel had allowed Nizar’s preliminary Objection this morning and dismissed Zambry's application. The matter had been earlier fixed for Hearing on 5th and 6th May 2009 by the KL High Court to determine who is the rightful MB in Perak.
Although the matter is now lying in the hands of the Court, the Pakatan never intended for the Court to pronounce Nizar as the rightful MB in Perak. What we were fighting for since 5th February 2009 is simple – the Rakyat should be given the chance to re-elect their State Government of their choice. All parties shall return the mandate to the Rakyat. It should be the Rakyat’s choice, and not Pakatan’s, Barisan’s, Palace’s or the Court’s choice.

YB,
ReplyDeleteThis is at least some good news since the last court decision (that shattered the principle of separation of powers) was not favourable to PR. By the way, I'm just wondering what other provisions of the Federal Constitution BN or the courts are going to steam roll over in the near future.
Should Nizar fail to prevail in the Nizar vs. Zambry case at the high court later, BN will be all fired up to use the May 7 assembly sitting to "legalize" its takeover of the state government. I believe PR should not boycott this sitting...I don't know how PR can out-vote BN but by just not being there is like giving up without a fight.
Need to show BN that they cannot win by side-stepping the federal constitution.
