IPOH, Feb 3 (Bernama) -- The Perak government no longer recognises Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu as the Behrang and Changkat Jering assemblymen respectively."Therefore, the two assemblymen will not be allowed to attend the coming state assembly sittings," Perak Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar told reporters at the residence of the Menteri Besar, here, tonight.
He said the two assemblymen would also automatically cease to be state executive councillors and their duties would be taken over by others to be decided at the coming state executive council meeting.
Sivakumar said the decision on Jamaluddin and Mohd Osman was made as he did not recognise the Election Commission's (EC) decision today that the seats were not vacant but still held by the two assemblymen.
He said he still stood by his earlier statement that the two assemblymen had submitted their resignation letters.
At the same press conference, Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin said the state government would challenge the EC's decision in court after 48 hours.
Asked whether he would carry out the plan in view of DAP national chairman Karpal Singh's statement that challenging the EC's decision would be futile, the Menteri Besar said the state government would go ahead as the facts in the case of the two Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) assemblymen were different from the 1982 case mentioned by Karpal.
The EC decided today that the Changkat Jering (N14) and Behrang (N59) state seats were not vacant and still held by the incumbent assemblymen.
EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusuf said this was because there were doubts over the two letters of resignation as assemblymen said to be submitted by Jamaluddin and Mohd Osman to the Perak Speaker.
tunku : i suppose that perak government can sack them from being exco members but not as assemblymen. if the EC had said that they are still the assemblymen, so they are. no one can stop them from attending state assembly.if the perak government is not satisfied with EC's decision, they can go to the court and let the court decides.even the dap chairman had said that challenging the ec's decision would be futile.taste your own medicine now.

walaupun banyak duit rakyat akan terbuang lagi tp pada pendapat saya DUN perak sewajarnya dibubarkan dan diadakan pilihanraya semula..
oleh kerana DAP yg ada banyak kerusi DUn di perak dan PR rasa mereka memang diterima oleh rakyat perak kenapa takut utk diadakan pilihanraya semula??
hanya majoriti 3 kerusi kalau menang mungkin lebih banyak kerusi jadi tak akan ada masalah begini lagi..
atau pun memang org politik ni semua BODOH MELANTUN LANTUN??
sekarang ni ramai yang lebih cenderung agar untuk kerajaan Perak membubarkan DUN dan mengadakan pilihanraya semula.mungkin itu adalah satu jalan penyelesaian yang terbaik bagi mengakhiri kemelut politik di negeri Seladang itu.
namun harus diingat yang untuk menjalankan pilihanraya memerlukan wang yang bukan sedikit.mampukah dan perlukah kita menghadapi pilihanraya pada waktu sekarang tatkala ekonomi negara makin lama makin kurang stabil?
any opinions anyone?
