The courts were not the right place to decide who is the legitimate government of Perak.

Some issues can be solved by a court of law, but the Perak crisis is not one of them. The back and forth events of the past week demonstrate this fact abundantly. The Perak crisis cannot be solved by a decision of the court because it is at heart a political rather than a constitutional problem. There is really no doubt about what the Constitution says."
The only way out of the Perak crisis, the former finance minister said, was to dissolve the state assembly and hold a "free and fair" election.
"Perhaps our political leadership has not understood how important it is that the people’s voice must prevail, and be seen to prevail, in the choice of their government," he said.
