Perak - The "Confusion" Continues...

The Appeal Court decided the "rightful" Menteri Besar of Perak is Zambry.

While I respect the learned Judges' decision, this "confusion" would continue.  For all intent and purposes, the decision should be made by the State Assembly or the people of Perak.

A State Assembly sitting should be called and the motion of no-confidence against Nizar should be tabled.  The Speaker (from Pakatan) should allow this motion to be tabled accordingly.

If that does not break the impasse then a fresh election should be called.  This way the people of Perak would be the decision makers.  We should try to avoid putting this very heavy responsibility on the shoulder of a very few people as discontentment would persist.

My five-sen worth of thoughts...

Muhyiddin says he can't predict what will happen in Perak - The Malaysian Insider

Perak - Dissolve the State Assembly

When there is a political deadlock, the rakyat must be given a chance to decide who should represent their interests.

Since the High Court has made a ruling, the ruling must be uphold.  

And whoever has been declared the rightful MB must seek consent to dissolve the State Assembly.  

The ruler, in this case the Sultan of Perak, must seriously consider allowing the people to decide who should administer the State.  

If appeal and counter-appeal are allowed to proceed, no one party would be satisfied. In the end, the rakyat suffers.

So it is only logical to go back to the voters, the rakyat, to choose who they want.  

This process is a waste of public funds but, unfortunately, it has to be done.  

Neither party would want to give in to the other.  

So let the rakyat decide. All parties then must abide by the rakyat's decision.

Common sense must prevail...!!!
