Anwar asks Nizar to carry on as MB

Parti Keadilan Rakyat de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has played down DAP chairman Karpal Singh's planned suit against the Sultan of Perak for his "unconstitutional decision" to allow Barisan Nasional to take over the helm in Perak.

He said the suit would not be filed. Instead a panel of Pakatan Rakyat lawyers would look into legal remedies to the situation.

Speaking last night to a 8,000-strong crowd at the menteri besar's official residence here, which was occupied by Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, Anwar said the decision was reached when he met DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang and Pas president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang earlier.

Anwar said he, Kit Siang and Hadi would seek an audience with the Sultan of Perak as soon as possible to convey the voice of the people of Perak.

He urged Nizar and the Pakatan executive councillors to continue with their duties as assemblymen and to return to their offices tomorrow as usual.
If they were denied entry, they were to carry on from the menteri besar's residence, Anwar said.

Present were Nizar and several Pakatan leaders, deputy DAP chairman Dr Tan Seng Giaw and Hadi.

Police had blocked the roads within a kilometre radius to the menteri besar's residence to prevent crowds from converging.

Traffic was at a standstill near a roundabout in front of the residence.

City police chief Assistant Commissioner Azisman Alias said the roadblocks began at 6pm and were lifted at midnight. – text: NST, pix: TMI

Dua “imam” di Perak

Membaca berita Malaysiakini yang bertajuk “MB Nizar umum empat dasar penting” membuatkan gue teringat akan kisah 2 imam sembahyang di Terengganu satu masa dulu. Tak dapat gue pastikan apakah masih ada lagi peristiwa 2 imam tersebut di Terengganu kini. Sepengetahuan gue tak ada berita dari MSM atau media alternatif yang melaporkan peristiwa sedemikian lagi. Jadi nampaknya kemelut 2 imam sembahyang tu dah diselesaikan.

Tapi kini nampaknya peristiwa 2 "imam" muncul kembali dalam bentuk “imam politik” pula di Perak – hehe... mana lagi kalo bukan Perak! kan Perak “test bed” bagi “we have the numbers”?

Kalo imam sembahyang maka ada makmumnya yang tertentu, tapi kalo “imam politik” pula siapakah “makmun” dia ya?... Betuuul!!! SUK dan pegawai-pegawai di pejabat kerajaan yang lainnya!

Tapi dalam situasi 2 “imam” di Perak ni, Hmmm… mimpi di siang hari lah! “imam” Nizar. Jumaat kelmarin tu, SUK dah isytiharkan bahawa dia “tidak berkerja dengan Nizar lagi.” Jadi segala arahan/polisi pentadbiran yang dikeluarkan “imam” Nizar tak mungkin akan dipatuhi SUK dan pentadbirannya. Struktur kuasa kini di Perak dah berubah dan beralih ke “imam” Dr Zambry walaupun “imam” Nizar dan "jemaah" Pakatan tidak mengiktirafnya. Sebab “a fait accompli.”

Pentadbiran negeri harus berjalan untuk kepentingan rakyat. Pentadbiran tak boleh berada dalam dilemma: “imam” mana yang harus dipatuhi. SUK telah memutuskannya secara tak langsung – ikut dan patuhi “imam” Dr Zambry.

Pertikaian tentang keabsahan “imam” Dr Zambry boleh diselesaikan melalui proses UU di mahkamah. Tak dak siapa yang boleh melarangnya hatta Sultan Perak sekalipun, apatah lagi “tikus-tikus politik” di luar Perak ni… MM: Jangan hina Raja Melayu
Teruskanlah “imam” Nizar dan "jemaah" Pakatan, gue pun sokong 100 peratus akan saman “imam” Nizar yang sedang diteliti tu. Tapi dalam kontek arahan/polisi pentadbiran “imam” Nizar saperti yang dilaporkan Malaysiakini ni , gue kata secara pasti bahawa "arahan imam tu" tak laku – tak caya tunggu dan lihat lah!
