Bar Council praises latest Perak decision

The Bar Council said that the decision by the Kuala Lumpur High Court to rule that Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin is the legitimate mentri besar of Perak was the right decision and that it throws the validity of Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir’s actions over the past few months into doubt.
“It was the right decision and the only decision the court could make,” council president Ragunath Kesavan told The Malaysian Insider.
“I have always said that under the state and federal constitutions, the Sultan has the power to appoint but not the power to remove the mentri besar. The mentri besar can only be removed via a vote of no confidence or resign.”
