KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 – For at least 19 hours, Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin is the legitimate Mentri Besar of Perak.
High Court judge Datuk Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahim today ruled that that the only way to force the MB to resign is through a vote of no-confidence in the state assembly.
He rejected a plea for a stay of execution from lawyers for Datuk Zambry Abdul Kadir, the Barisan Nasional politician who was installed as the chief executive of the state by the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah.
Zambry’s lawyers are expected to make a beeline for the Court of Appeal tomorrow morning to obtain a stay of execution of the High Court ruling – a ruling which has added another chapter to the story of the power grab which began with the defection of three Pakatan Rakyat lawmakers in February.
But till then, Nizar is the MB of Perak.
