Pakatan wants urgent audience with Sultan

PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Rakyat will seek an urgent audience with Sultan Azlan Shah to ask for a review of the Ruler’s decision in consenting to the appointment of Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir as the new Perak Mentri Besar.
“We will appeal to the Sultan to re-look the laws relating to the removal of Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin and let the court ascertain the legitimacy of Dr Zambry’s appointment,” said PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at a press conference at the party’s headquarters here on Friday.
The press conference was also attended by DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang and PAS deputy president Nasharuddin Mat Isa.
Anwar said a team of legal experts from PKR, DAP and PAS would meet to discuss and study a legal suit to challenge the validity of Dr Zambry’s appointment.
He said that the coalition stood by Nizar, whom it recognised as the rightful Mentri Besar according to the Perak constitution.
Anwar added that Nizar’s refusal to resign was not an issue of treachery. “Why must Barisan Nasional play on that? They are afraid of a by-election because they have witnessed what we have achieved in Kuala Terengganu and Permatang Pauh,” he said, adding that there were no provisions in the Perak constitution to force Nizar to resign.
When asked whether Pakatan would support an anti-hopping law following the resignation of three of its members, Anwar said: “This is something that we have to study carefully. We need to draft a proper legislation.”
On the demonstration held by Pakatan supporters in Kuala Kangsar on Friday afternoon, Anwar urged all parties not to create chaos.
“We also appeal to the police on duty to act professionally and not cause any provocation,” he added.

tunku : this moron think now that the Sultan will have an audience with them, after they insulted Tuanku. They instigated their supporters to blame Tuanku. They even bringing Tuanku to court. What else you want to discuss with Tuanku. Go and settle it at the court. In the meantime there will be the government which is recognised by the Sultan. These people did not even think of their act.they were so desperate to cling on the power.If pakatan wins again in the next election and will form the perak government, how will they face the Sultan? I guess the Sultan should strip off nizar and ngeh datukship and if those two have some moral left in them, return back the datukship given to them. Now that his people hopped , he will study and look at the anti hopping law.before this with his 16th september etc, he forgets all of that nonsense. when the moron was trying to get bn members to hop and form the new government, everyone from pakatan praises him except for fews.Now that its the other way around, they turned 360 degree.these type of leaders will destroy malaysia.stay away from these stray politicians.
