Zambry claimed Umno can win 34 seats in next polls but they dare not walk the talk

The leader of the Perak rebel state government Dr Zambry Abd Kadir claimed that Perak Umno could win about 34 seats in the next election but he insisted that he will not call for snap polls in order to prove his claim right.

Zambry instead called on the 28 Pakatan state assemblymen to quit en bloc to prove they have the people's support.

Come on Zambry, your party launched a coup to toppled a legitimate state government elected by the people and installed your rebel state government into force without the people's mandate.

If you claim you can win 34 state seats, then you should initiate to dissolve the state legislative assembly in order to prove your claim is accurate. Do not push the ball to Pakatan Rakyat. They are the victim of your political game.

And if you still refuse to dissolve the state legislative assembly to pave way for a snap poll, then you are already a political coward. You dare not face the people directly.

'BN to win elections? Go test it in Perak'

The Najib factor would allow BN to fare better than the last general election if the 13th general election is held today, according to pro-Umno Merdeka Centre.

In that case we want to inform Najib and the director of Merdeka Centre (who should also advise Najib) then dissolve the Perak state assembly and hold fresh elections in the state. It will be a perfect chance to evaluate your so-called "excellent, visionary leadership".

The problem is Umno did not have enough guts to dissolve the Perak state assembly now to hold a fresh elections because they fear of their repeat lost in the last general elections and the exposure of their mismanagement of the state resources of their previous governance.

They had heard, seen and watched what happened to Selangor Umno and Khir Toyo who mishandled the entire state to their lust and they did not want their wrongdoings to be uprooted by the Pakatan Rakyat. That is why the Perak Umno Rebel State Government continued their illegal administration instead. They cowardly hid behind the back of the state ruler, by saying that they followed the ruler's advice, instruction and so on.

And when we say Umno is wrong, these Umno leaders will say those who said the party was wrong committed treason as the ruler had given its blessings to the party. Where is the prove that the ruler had given his consent to Umno to seize power in the state? We did not see it. It was hel behind close doors and anything can happen at all times.

Do not support Umno anymore, they are ruin the entire nation into chaos without our knowledge and we were to realise it, then it will be too late to save our nation.

Plot hatched to topple State Government

Currently rumored around in the Selangor state are allegations that most of the state executive councilors of Pakatan Rakyat are endured in a corrupt practice to swindle state funds and allocation for personal use.

As the result, the MACC efficiently stepped in and round up the entire Selangor state government for questioning. In the middle of the interrogation, one of the state government officials was being found murdered at the Selangor MACC headquarters.

Then a blog surfaced recently claiming that the named state Exco members were part of the corrupt group of high ranking state officials that had murdered Teo Beng Hock in their effort to cover up the alleged activities.

Allegations after allegations, it seems that some parties out are trying to hatch a systematic plot to topple the state government and to take over the administration by force or violence means by inciting wild allegations and pressure against the current state government which is run by Pakatan Rakyat.

The police did nothing while the MACC is doing their best to discredit the state government, while the federal government which is still under the BN pulled its strings from behind scene. It is a very clear and open secret that the BN federal government is gearing up its plot to take over the industrialized state from Pakatan Rakyat after their successful coup d’etat that toppled the Perak state government last February.

It is a very clear fact that the BN-led federal government had wanted to avenge Pakatan Rakyat over their 8 March 2008 general elections grave defeat last year by seeking all kinds of ways and means to destabilize the Pakatan-rule state governments which lead to the collapse of the Pakatan enclave in Perak.

Besides Perak, the BN is also eyeing to destabilize two industrialize states namely Selangor and Penang, where Selangor is currently being targeted for alleged corrupt activities and Penang being embroiled in a minor racial tension following an attempt by an Umno-linked developer to evict and demolish an Indian based traditional village on an acquired land to make way for a mega project which was previously approved by the then BN Gerakan-led state government.

Apart from that, Umno is also pushing hard on Gerakan to launch a large scale assault and allegation against the Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng alleging that he is corrupted and rented a high price residence to make way for a “renovation” of his evacuated official residence Seri Mutiara.

BN had every resource, like the police, the MACC, the military, the judiciary, the intelligence apparatus, the mainstream media and whatever powers they got to engineer their plans to discredit, destabilize and to topple the Pakatan state government if they want to.

But what did the Pakatan Rakyat have? Only the support from the people and our conscience! Pakatan Rakyat had in fact nothing to defend themselves against any onslaught or coup attempt from the BN all-mighty powers.

Therefore, Pakatan Rakyat leaders from PKR, DAP and PAS need sit together to take on a bigger role by establishing a security force of their own.

1Malaysia, a BN political ploy

1Malaysia, 1Malaysia is mentioned everywhere now. The federal government under the BN-Umno is now working round the clock every second to ensure that our people are one hundred percent brainwashed into adopting this idea which is seen as a mere political ploy by Umno to cover up their defeat, weaknesses and their racist chauvinistic political strategies.

Just right behind 1Malaysia campaign, BN-Umno is organising a major offensive in Pakatan rule states by clearly encouraging 2Kelantan, 2Kedah, 2 Penang and 2 Selangor policies. Their 2Perak offensive has been successful where the Pakatan state government was overthrown by an Umno-sponsored coup d'etat on early February this year.

Let us look at their 2Kelantan, 2Kedah, 2 Penang and 2 Selangor policies right now. In order to rival the Pakatan state governments, the BN established a Federal Development Department (Jabatan Pembangunan Persekutuan) in each of these states with a state director taking charge of each of the states. A kindly of "de-facto state government" if you study the BN's intention carefully.

Then down below, the BN also established rival entities to challenge the state appointed offices like the Penghulu which are state appointed, is rival by a Penghulu Persekutuan. That means each of these areas are now having two Penghulus, one is a state while the other is a federal appointed.

Then we go down to Village Security and Development Committees (JKKK) which is also under the states' jurisdiction are now being rivaled by BN's federal appointed Federal Village Security and Development Committees (JKKKP). That means all those kampungs and pekans in the Pakatan rule states now have two kinds of JKKKs administering the respective areas.

What is the BN-Umno trying to prove actually? Wasting public funds and monies to by creating all these additional positions and paying them with allowances just like that? Does the Federal Development Department (Jabatan Pembangunan Persekutuan), Penghulu Persekutuan and the JKKKP really have any legal statures to rival the states and areas?

This is a very big No! The establishment of Federal Development Department (Jabatan Pembangunan Persekutuan), Penghulu Persekutuan and the JKKKP are totally against the state constitutions because these positions are de-facto ones and they did not have any legal means to establish at all. These entities are just like the current Perak rebel state government established by Umno in aftermath of their coup d'etat.

Therefore, BN's 1Malaysia is only a ploy to distract our people from their real plans behind which is aimed to split our people, to create disunity, disharmony and to confuse the entire nation.

BN and Umno are the ones who are anti-establishments.

A grave distortion of the constitution

Malaysiakini reports that the decision by the five members of the Federal court who declared that the Elections Commission has the power to over-rule the Speaker is nonsensical.

In this case, the powers of the Speaker be it Dewan Rakyat or State Assembly will be overruled by EC on what cause ? What kind of analysis will the EC able to determine if the decisions they had made did not contravene with the one made by the Speaker ? Who is actually running the state legislative assembly or parliament now ? The EC or the Speaker ?

The EC current comes under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Department and where the chairman of the EC reports directly to the Prime Minister Najib Razak. From the basic establishment it has already made known that a conflict of interest had in fact exist in this relationship.

In fact, the EC should be put answerable to the parliament instead of the Prime Minister's Department in order to affirm its neutrality stance in the eyes of the public.

And now the Federal court ruled that EC could interfere in the Speaker's decision. Is this part of the democratic process ? What if a state ruled by an opposition front and EC is not happy with it and decided to call for a fresh election if the federal government want to do so ?

BN-Umno is using the Federal court to rule on its favour in order to provide more powers to EC to act on its behalf. These actions are undemocratic and unconstitutional. It is reaching towards the dictatorship path.

Nizar to appeal against judgment

Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin is look set to file an appeal against the Appeals Court’s ruling on last May declaring Perak rebel leader Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir as the rightful menteri besar of Perak.

The problem that Datuk Seri Nizar would be facing right now is, he has yet to obtain the written judgment made on 11 May by the Appeals Court judges who presided the hearing and ruled in favour of Dr Zambry. The judgment was in fact made verbally.

Where is the written judgment then? What take those judges so long to prepare and write down their judgment of the day? Do these judges in the Appeals Court know how to write their judgments?

Or are they waiting for Datuk V.K.Lingam to help them draft their judgments? Is there a motive to delay the written judgment so that Datuk Seri Nizar would have a difficult time in filing a proper appeal against the said judgment? We supposed it could be a sabotage going on to prevent Datuk Seri Nizar from obtaining a proper court hearing for his appeal against the ruling.

Umno and its Perak rebel state government is trying every effort to manipulate the court in order to rule in their favour and against the constitution and the people as well.

The current administration in Perak is now being run by the rebels who seized power in an Umno-sponsored coup d’etat last February and it is not an elected state government as they proclaimed. It is a rebel state government run by Umno and their lackeys from MCA, MIC, Gerakan and PPP

Perak rebel state govt “legalized”

The court of appeal had on 22 May ruled that the Perak rebel leader Dr Zambry Abd Kadir and members of his rebel state government as the rightful state administration in Perak thus, out ruled the 11 May judgment made by the Kuala Lumpur High Court which recognized Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin and his state government as a legitimate one.

But the court of appeal’s decision is not expected to bring an end to the Perak constitutional crisis. The judgment made by the court of appeal had clearly ignored the state constitution as a whole, due to the fact that their decisions did not reflect their understanding on the provisions of the state constitution.

Besides, the decisions by the court of appeal on 22 May had sparked more unhappiness of the people on Umno and its BN federal coalition government. The people are already disgusted with the way Najib and his cronies had engineered the coup d’etat on last February which saw the legitimate state government being toppled in Perak.

And yet Dr Zambry shamelessly claimed that his rebel government is “elected” by the people. Perhaps, he is still day dreaming and definitely in a total denial mode. The rebel government led by Zambry came to power via coup d’etat and it was not elected by the people. The real fact is Zambry’s rebel government is elected by only three persons (who sat in the court of appeal).

The court of appeal’s decision also clearly shows that it is a pro-Umno institution and the people would see it as an instruction from the executive powers in Putrajaya to the top judiciary to decide on its favour. The people of Perak are gravely disappointed, upset and disgusted with the way Umno handle and ruin Perak.

Apart from that, the court of appeal’s ruling also suggested that the rulers now had even more powers than what it has been vested under the constitution. That means the constitution had been undermined and it is a useless document now. The dissolution of the Perak state assembly to pave way for a fresh election is urged by many people of Perak and their counterparts from other state as well. This is the only way and the best option to resolve the constitutional crisis.

We strongly believe that the people are the ones who should decide on who should rule and govern their state and not the court anymore. However, we all know Umno and its BN lackeys would not dare to a hold a fresh election because they knew that they will lose their power if they do so. That is why Umno and their BN lackeys are afraid and scared of going back to the people. They are now afraid and scared of the people’s verdict and they are hiding behind the court of appeal.

Those Umno leaders and politicians are really cowards entirely.

Speaker vs Speaker - Round 2

Malaysiakini reports that ousted speaker V Sivakumar is seeking a court injunction against BN-installed speaker R Ganesan from obstructing him in exercising his duties.

We hope Sivakumar would proceed with his application for a court injunction as soon as possible without delay to prevent the illegally installed rebel speaker from discharging his duties unconstitutionally.

As a legitimate speaker, Sivakumar was ousted by an unclear and improper vote of no-confidence against him before the Raja Muda of Perak officially opens the state assembly sitting. That means Sivakumar was illegally removed before the state assembly commence its sitting.

Looks like the Umno rebels who had launched a third coup d'etat on 7 May last week mistakenly toppled Sivakumar before the state assembly sitting commence, where in actual fact a vote of no-confidence should only be carried out during the state assembly proceedings.

It shows that the Umno rebels also had not confident with their recently self proclaimed majority and had to rely solely on undemocratic, unconstitutional and violent measures to forcefully remove Sivakumar from his position.

Earlier reports also indicated that an Umno man even brought a gun into the state assembly for standby in case if Sivakumar is too strong to be manhandled. Such an act is so violent and Sivakumar may end up being killed if he persist further.

What if Sivakumar got killed? Umno will make history for itself. A bloody coup d'etat perhaps.

The ball is in sultan's court

Malaysiakini reports that public pressure is once again on the Perak sultan to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly to break the three-month-long political impasse.

And we believe and hope that the sultan will make an accurate and correct decision this time to dissolve the state assembly as soon as possible in order to pave way for another state elections. Let the people decide on who should govern the state.

Umno would try every ways and means to avoid a state elections as they are afraid the people would once again reject them, like on 8 March 2008 last year. Umno is afraid of losing for the second time.

Some unconfirm source also indicate that the Perak rebel leader Dr Zambry Abd Kadir might declare a state of emergency in order to curb the people's pressure as well as the Pakatan Rakyat's popularity via military presence and curfew. Will Dr Zambry do that anyway?

And if Zambry does, what will happen to Perak then?

Call for Snap Elections in Perak

As we had seen the political and constitutional crisis turned from bad to worst, following the coup d'etat and power seizure by a terrorist organisation called Umno.

When Umno toppled the state government on last February, they installed their rebel state government and its rebel leader Dr Zambry Abd Kadir becames the menteri besar of the illegal administration.

After the Kuala Lumpur High Court declared Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin as the lawful menteri besar, Dr Zambry fearing of losing his position quickly obtain another court order to have himself back to office the next day.

More and more people both from inside and outside of Perak are calling for snap election as the situation is worsening because of Umno's continuous onslaught. Even MCA and Gerakan are now getting fed up with their supreme master and had started demanding that Umno should "let go" and hold a fresh election in order to obtain the people's mandate.

But Umno seems to refusing advice even from its BN component parties. They knew they will lose badly this time if a snap election is called, and that is why they wanted to cling on to power even if by illegal ways or means. At then end, should situation worsens, Umno might even resort to violence in order to subdue the electorate and the people.

What now? Its all up to the Sultan and Raja Muda of Perak.

Court rules Nizar is legitimate MB

Malaysiakini ~ In a landmark decision yesterday, the Kuala Lumpur High Court has declared that BN-Umno's Zambry is not the lawful MB and Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin as the sole legitimate Menteri Besar of Perak.

Justice has been served. The rebel state government under its rebel menteri besar Dr Zambry Abd Kadir must vacate their offices immediately.

Furthermore, the legitimate state government which was put back to power yesterday must act tough on those state civil servants who had collaborated with the rebels to topple the state government.

Suspending the state secretary, state legal advisor and the state assembly secretary aren't enough. These rebel collaborators should in fact be expelled from the state administration with immediate effect.

There is no point of keeping these people in the state government anymore if do not wish to work or cooperate with the state leaders. Keeping them in their positions by just suspending them is just waste of time, money and public funds.

Sack them all, and get a replacement in as soon as possible in order to get things done.

Third coup d’etat in Perak, beginning of dictatorship

As we had all knew the third coup d’etat in Perak had already happened. Umno again launched the coup to completely seize control of the entire government machinery in Perak by ousting the State Assembly Speaker V.Sivakumar via force and fist.

Now, Perak Umno is in complete control of the state and had established an effective dictatorship. Unconstitutional and undemocratic measures were taken to continue curbing the rising influence of the Pakatan Rakyat by making mass arrest of human rights activist, politicians, elected representatives, NGO leaders in order to prevent the truth from being channel to the people and the grassroots.

Despite being ousted, we still considered our V.Sivakumar the legitimate Speaker of the Perak State Assembly. He is the father of Perak Democracy and the pillar of Perakians struggle for Democracy. In fact, Sivakumar had shown a great courage in standing against the combined mighty forces of the federal government, the corrupt royalties, and the Umno dominated police and security forces.

Sivakumar had held on, demonstrating a will of steel and he still held on despite being physically abused and removed from the Speaker’s chair by many Umno henchmen. We understand that Sivakumar is also slightly injured due to the struggle to remove him but we advise him not to worry and continue wearing those physical scars dutifully in the name of democracy, freedom, justice and equality. Sivakumar will be remembered as the defender of Perak democracy until the 13th general election.

Let us all not recognize the Umno dictatorship in Perak. Their administration is illegal because their power was obtained via power seizure by illegitimate means. The current administration in the state is call the Perak Umno Rebel State Government or in Malay language “Kerajaan Pemberontak Umno Negeri Perak”. This is a clear fact Umno now administers the state via a rebel state government, as it was not elected by the people. The governance that Umno obtained today was by coup d’etat. Umno toppled a legitimate state government and proclaimed themselves into power by force.

And did you know Tan Sri Musa Hassan, the head of the Umno dominated police force said few days ago that they do not have enough police personnel to combat crimes in our entire nation. Guess what?

They had assembled thousands of their police personnel from other parts of the nation in Perak to serve the interest of Umno in the state, to install the Umno rebel state government, to assist the coup d’etat to take place in Perak and to assist in toppling the elected state government in Perak. The police personnel had in fact being majorly concentrated in political affairs rather than combating crimes. That is why crimes in our nation are on the rise.

The police are not interested in combating the crimes in our nation but they are only interested in furthering the interest of Umno because their party leader is the minister of home affairs in the Umno-dominated federal government.

From February until now, the way the power seizure was organized showed that the Umno state assemblymen and their leaders are no better than highway robbers or “mat rempits”. Can this kind of political animals be lawmakers for our people? It would be a real joke.

7 May shall be best remembered as a definite OneBlackMalaysia indeed. Innocent people are simply thrown into prison and threatened for nothing else but to further the interest of Umno. Well, after all Umno is above the law and the constitution. With their “ketuanan” and supremacist power, they are able to do whatever they want and even the police cannot question their privilege and powers. Very soon, with Umno still at helm, our nation will turn into a lawless nation and it had just started in Perak.

Therefore, we urge Pakatan Rakyat state governments of Kedah, Penang, Selangor and Kelantan, beware! Umno may launch a coup d’etat to topple your administrations too. They had done it in Perak and they will do so in your states.

Democracy in our nation had been degraded. Let us seek aid from the international community to scrutinize our federal government and check the imbalances, injustice and irregularities experienced by our people here.

Black 7 May in Perak

Yesterday was the darkest ever chapter in Perak and we are sure all our fellow Perakians also felt ashamed of what had happened in their state. First our legitimate state government has been overthrown, then our democratic platform i.e. the state legislative assembly building has been sealed off and our state assemblymen were prevented from any sitting, and now our legitimately elected Speaker has been violently removed from his position.

All these undemocratic, unprincipled, unconstitutional and barbaric acts were carried out by none other than the United Malays National Organization or better known as Umno. They toppled a state government elected by the people and established a rebel state government to administer the state with an iron fist. All opposition to the rebel administration has been curbed with mass arrest of Pakatan Rakyat leaders and elected representatives to prevent them from channeling the truth to our people.

With the backing from the federal security forces, the Umno-led rebel state government had also censored all news reports which are deemed critical to their unlawful administration and established false news and reports in order to cheat the people and provide inaccurate information to the nation. They tried their very best to cover as many truth as possible.

The Umno-led rebel state government is now terrorizing the people in Perak, threatening them with arrest, charges under seditious law, penal codes, or even ISA so no one would dare voice their opposition or discontent towards the rebel administration.

The Umno-led rebel state government under rebel leader Dr Zambry Abd Kadir called the Pakatan Rakyat “biadap” during his press conference yesterday. We wish to respond to his statement by calling him and his lackeys “kurang ajar” and “banjingan” for their arrogance, violence, threats and their use of force against the will of our people.

We are not being rough towards anyone here, but we simply could not find any suitable word to describe these Umno men other than “kurang ajar” and “banjingan” because this is what they are. They had in fact already destroyed the entire democratic institution and the constitution of the state by launching a coup d’etat to topple the people’s state government elected on 8 March 2008. These Umno men were infact worst then animals and do not even fit to be apes as well. They are all inhuman because there are no sense of humanity in them.

Therefore, what did our dear friend Wong Chin Huat said “wear black” is accurately correct. Everyone of us should continue our silent protest by wearing black shirts, black t-shirts, black pants, black hats, black caps, black armbands or you can even raise a black flag to commemorate the death of democracy in Perak and the beginning of dictatorship in our beloved nation.

As long as Umno is still in power, Democracy Rest in Peace.

Perak 7 May sitting illegal

The Perak state assembly sitting which is scheduled on 7 May is deemed illegal because of three major reasons and if this session proceeds, then those Umno coup plotters are making a fool of the state constitution and the people of the state.

We wish to inform our fellow Perakians that the Perak state assembly sitting which is scheduled on 7 May is deemed illegal because: -

1) It was called by a Rebel State Government who seized power from the Legitimate State Government on last February.
2) The Speaker V.Sivakumar was not aware of the sitting, where in actual fact he should be the first person to be informed of the plan.
3) The signatory of notice to call for the state assembly sitting was suspended assembly secretary Abdullah Antung. Therefore, whatever documents signed by an official who is suspended from his position is considered null and void.

We urge our fellow Perakians to stand up steadfastly to protest and condemn these illegal, undemocratic and unconstitutional acts by Umno and its BN lackeys.

Zambry may use force

The Perak Umno-led rebel state government under the leadership of Dr Zambry Abd Kadir had planned to table a motion at the state assembly sitting scheduled on 7 May to oust Speaker V.Sivakumar from his seat and replace him with a member of the rebel coalition (BN).

As speaker, Sivakumar has the right to reject the motion as did the Dewan Rakyat speaker who often rejects motions table by our members of parliament.

The real concern here is, if Sivakumar decides to reject the motion by Dr Zambry to oust him, will the rebel menteri besar forcefully evict Sivakumar from his seat? There is certainly a possibility as much preparation has been made by Umno and its rebel state government to prepare for the event on 7 May.

The presence of the federal security force and police personnel had been doubled in all over major towns and cities in the state is a sign the rebel state government is determine to seize total control over the administration of the state ever since the Umno coup plotters overthrown the legitimate state government and sealed the state assembly building.

If the 7 May plan proceeds, this will be the third coup plot against a legitimate position of an official elected to serve the state. The first coup was launched to topple the legitimate state government and later Umno launched a second coup with the help of the police and security forces to confiscate and seal the state assembly building in order to prevent the state assemblymen from discharging their duties of the state.

And when the 7 May coup comes into action, is the rebel state government going to declare a state of emergency and detain all Pakatan Rakyat state leaders under the internal security act (ISA)? There is a possibility it might happen as the Umno coup plotters are now desperate and wanted to hold on to power despite mass protest from the people of the state.

By detaining all Pakatan Rakyat state leaders would also help them to curb the rising influence of the new coalition in order for Umno to tighten their grip in the state.

Perak rebels seeks to remove Sivakumar as Speaker

As expected, rebel menteri besar Zambry Kadir has sought to table a motion to remove Perak state legislative Speaker, V Sivakumar, at a May 7 assembly sitting he has called.

Abdullah Antong Sabri, the assembly secretary whom Sivakumar suspended for insubordination, signed and sent out the notices for the motion on Apr 27. Elected representatives were asked to submit their nominations for Sivakumar’s replacement by Apr 30.

However, Pakatan Rakyat was unfazed by the latest manoeuvre against Sivakumar. A DAP leader and the first ethnic Indian in the country to become a Speaker of a legislative body, Sivakumar has been a key force in helping the Pakatan resist the Umno-BN’s coup d'etat of the Perak state government.

“This is unusual and will be the first time such a move has been made in Malaysia,” said Perak DAP Secretary and Pantai Remis assemblyman Nga Kor Ming.

According to Nga, the Speaker had the right to reject or accept any motion, including one aimed at himself. He also lashed out at Zambry for using Sivakumar’s suspended secretary to issue the notices.

“This shows that they think they can do whatever they want. We will let the Speaker decide on the motion,” Nga said.

The Pantai Remis representative, who is also a prominent lawyer, warned that Zambry’s latest move was in contempt of the High Court, where there is still an ongoing lawsuit challenging Zambry’s legitimacy as Menteri Besar.

Pakatan leaders will also be meeting on Thursday to chart out their next course of action. Said Perak DAP Chairman and Sitiawan assemblyman Ngeh Koo Ham: “Since the notice is illegal and hence void, we will not be responding to it. It is just another piece of paper, floating around.”

Perak state assembly sitting on 7 May illegal

The state assembly sitting in Perak scheduled on 7 May next month which was called by the rebel menteri besar Dr Zambry Abd Kadir is deemed illegal because it did not adhere by the procedures of the state assembly and therefore, unconstitutional.

Besides, the Speaker V.Sivakumar was not even aware of the intended state assembly sitting which was planned by the rebel state government believed to be aimed at ousting him.

According to the Speaker’s newly appointed state assembly secretary Misbahhul Munir Masduki, the former state assembly secretary Abdullah Antung was suspended from his position because he had breached the procedures of the assembly by receiving an unconstitutional instruction from the rebel menteri besar to convene for the assembly sitting without the knowledge of the Speaker.

The call for the state assembly sitting should be made by the Speaker himself who will then instruct the assembly secretary to inform the Sultan for consent to convene the assembly sitting. Upon obtaining the consent from the Sultan, the Speaker will then issue the notices of invitation to all state assemblymen to attend the state assembly sitting.

The situation now is otherwise, the rebel menteri besar Dr Zambry Abd Kadir was making the call and instructed the former state assembly secretary Abdullah Antung to convene the sitting on his behalf, without even informing the Speaker. Since the Speaker was unaware of the sitting, who illegally signed the notices of invitation then? Did Dr Zambry himself sign it as “acting speaker”? Or Abdullah might have signed it by putting “bagi pihak Speaker”.

In this case, Dr Zambry illegally acted as a speaker, thus sidelining Sivakumar completely. The rebel menteri besar had in fact ignored the constitutional rights and powers of the Speaker and insulted the state constitution.

After proclaiming himself a menteri besar of the rebel state government, Dr Zambry now wanted to proclaim himself a speaker to chair the state assembly. Perak Umno is about to stage a second rebellion and coup d’etat against the state of Perak and its constitution.

Ketuanan Umno is now above the law, above the constitution, above the sultanate or they might even claim to be above Allah s.w.t. or God in near future.

Third coup d’etat expected in Perak

Another coup d’etat is expected to take place in Perak on 7 May next month when the state assembly sitting is to be convened by the Perak rebel menteri besar Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.

Why do we see this as another coup attempt? Because Dr Zambry and his rebel state government wanted to overthrow the state assembly speaker V.Sivakumar with unconstitutional and undemocratic means. Sivakumar as speaker was not notified at all on the planned state assembly sitting on 7 May organized by the rebel state government.

That means in their motion to convene the state assembly proceeding, the speaker does not exist at all. Dr Zambry had in fact taken over the role of the speaker from Sivakumar and this action clearly shows disrespect on the normal democratic process and totally unconstitutional. Besides, it was also reported that Dr Zambry and his rebel state government also planned to oust Sivakumar when the state assembly convene on 7 May.

First of all is this state assembly legal? It is an illegal one as the speaker was sidelined from the entire process and proceedings, from planning, administration, notification right down to documentations. There is no justice at all now in Perak, which is now under the dictatorship of the rebel state government led by Umno.

Umno supremacist had reign control all over Perak now. They are above the law and they can do anything they like according to their wish and so on. With Umno in power now in Perak, the drug-related ecstasy pills business which being managed by Umno Grik division is also fast expanding.

The second coup d’etat previously was Perak Umno mobilized their supporters and with the assistance of the federal security forces stormed the state assembly building and prevented our state assemblymen from convening a sitting despite being called by the speaker. By storming and confiscating the state assembly building at that time means denying the democratic rights of the state assemblymen and the people who had voted in their representatives to speak for them.

Well, every one of us knew what was the first coup d’etat like. It happened when three state assemblymen from Pakatan Rakyat became independent, and the Perak Umno state assemblymen quickly convened their state assembly sitting at the Perak Umno headquarters which is chaired by their self-proclaimed “speaker” Najib Razak, because they did not want the lawful speaker Sivakumar to step into the Perak Umno building. The result of the state assembly sitting in the Perak Umno headquarters was a no-confidence motion was passed by all the Umno state assemblymen together with the three recently turned independent state assemblymen, which toppled the elected Perak state government under the leadership of Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin.

Therefore, when the third coup d’etat takes place on 7 May, Perak Umno is expected to mobilize their radicals and the federal security forces again to prevent the democratic rights from taking its place in Perak. Democracy is already dead in Perak. A ruthless rebel state government is now in charge.

Bukit Gantang: Reject the Umno rebel state government in Perak

It will be a referendum in Perak. On 6 February 2009, Perak Umno launched a coup d’etat to topple the Perak state government which was elected by the people on 8 March 2008 general election last year.

After the legitimate state government was overthrown, a rebel state government was briefly established by Perak Umno to replace the former. After the Umno rebel state government came to power, the state legislative assembly was suspended from its proceedings with the help from the police and other security force. State assemblymen were barred from entering the state legislative building for fear of popular vote that will undermine the Umno rebel state government’s legitimacy.

Therefore, let us all show Umno how illegitimate and treason they are in Perak. Umno had recently killed democracy in Perak, denying the Perakians their rights, their choice of government and their right to speak up.

Let us all give our votes to Pakatan Rakyat candidate Datuk Seri Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin of PAS in the Bukit Gantang parliamentary by-election on this 7 April.

Pakatan Rakyat cannot but BN all can in Perak

The police on the instruction from the home affairs ministry had banned series of ceramahs in Bukit Gantang, Perak led by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Datuk Seri Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin.

But the police on the instruction from the home affairs ministry had allowed ceramahs by BN and Umno to be held all over Bukit Gantang in order for them to gear up for the by-election at the said parliamentary constituency.

Apart from that, BN and Umno were allowed to raise their party flags and election banners now while the Pakatan Rakyat parties are not allowed to do so. Wasn’t that supposed to be in the Elections Act stating that party flags and banners as well as campaigns are only allowed once the nomination takes place?

The Elections Commission (EC) also did not act against BN and Umno for putting up their party flags and banners prior to the nomination day. It has been clearly shown that the EC is truly a pro-BN as the entity is still under the jurisdiction of the prime minister’s department even though EC is a commission status and was supposed to be “responsible to the parliament”.

So, are the police and EC actually apolitical or should we call them the Umno police and the Umno EC?
