霹雳州公共账目委员会

霹雳州公共账目委员会主席黄家和律师于2009年2月28日在新闻发布会上所发表的声明：

霹雳州公共账目委员会已经在昨天下午4时半针对霹雳州政治危机所带来的影响进行一项会议。

霹雳州正面对一项严重的政治危机，导致许多事情的不确定。国阵已经宣告它们成为霹雳州的新政府，而民联则表示它们在霹雳州宪法下依然是合法的政府。

公共账目委员会不会对于谁对谁错作出任何的决定。作为一个在议会条规第70条下成立的委员会，我们有责任确保在这个危机下所耗费的每一分、每一毫，都是应当以及符合程序和法律。

在经过昨天的会议后，公共账目委员会发现有两大课题必须获得处理。

(一)赞比里委任的3名顾问以及州新闻主任

公共账目委员会已经从几个角度讨论赞比里委任3名顾问以及州新闻主任的事件。

根据报导，该3名顾问拥有与州行政议员相等的地位。公共账目委员会对此感到十分的不寻常，因为这肯定将涉及人民的金钱。我们将会针对以下的疑问作出调查：-

(i) 3名顾问的委任究竟是根据哪一项法律？
(ii) 委任的原因和目的；
(iii) 涉及的俸禄，包括薪水、津贴以及其他的便利；
(iv) 委任所带来利益、以及是否有委任的必要。

(二)尼查以及赞比里的地位

在现今的霹雳州政治危机下，公共账目委员会质疑人民的血汗钱是否会遭到当权者或公务员的浪费。

在这个情况下，公共账目委员会十分关注哪一个州行政议员队伍应该获得俸禄与薪金。

公共账目委员会已经决定，在必要的情况下，将传召尼查、赞比里、两个州行政议员队伍、州法律顾问以及州秘书出席下一次的会议，针对提出的课题给予解释。

在这个危机下，我们有责任扮演我们的角色，确保人民的利益获得保障。

Jawatankuasa Kira-Kira Wang Negeri Perak

Kenyataan Akhbar Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kira-Kira Wang Negeri Perak, YB Wong Kah Woh pada siding akhbar yang berlangsung di Pejabat Dewan Speaker, Bangunan Kerajaan Negeri Perak pada pukul 1 petang 28.02.2009


Jawatankuasa Kira-Kira Wang Negeri Perak (Public Account Committee- PAC) telah mengadakan mesyuarat kami pada 27.02.2009 pukul 4.30 petang di Bilik Mesyuarat Kewangan Negeri, Bangunan Kerajaan Negeri Perak.

Negeri Perak kini sedang mengalami satu krisis politik yang serious, yang mana telah menyebabkan banyak isu menjadi tidak tentu. Secara spesifiknya, Barisan Nasional telah mengisytiharkan mereka sebagai Kerajaan Negeri Perak yang baru dengan YB Zambry sebagai Menteri Besar manakala pihak Pakatan Rakyat pula berpegang kepada pendirian bahawa mereka masih Kerajaan yang sah atas sebab-sebab tertentu khasnya berlandaskan Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri Perak.

PAC tidak akan mempersoalkan siapa yang betul dan siapa yang salah dalam perkara ini. Sebagai satu Jawatankuasa yang ditubuhkan di bawah Perintah 70 Perintah-Perintah Tetap DUN Perak, PAC mempunyai tanggungjawab untuk memastikan semua wang yang diperuntukkan dan dibayar dalam suatu keadaan dan suasana berkrisis ini adalah berpatutan dan berlandaskan undang-undang dan prosidur.

Jawatankuasa kami telah berpendapat dua perkara penting harus ditangani.

(a) Pelantikan Penasihat-Penasihat kepada YB Zambry dan Ketua Penerangan Negeri

Pertama, PAC akan mempersoalkan pelantikan 3 orang “penasihat“ iaitu En. Chang Ko Youn, En. Veerasingham, YB Najmuddin kepada YB Zambry dan Ketua Penerangan Negeri YB Hamdi dari beberapa sudut.

Dalam konteks ini, PAC telah mengambil pengetahuan bahawa ketiga-tiga “penasihat” telah dilaporkan mempunyai status EXCO seperti yang diumumkan. PAC berpendapat bahawa ia adalah sesuatu yang amat luar biasa kerana ia sememangnya akan melibatkan wang Rakyat yang besar dan suatu penyoalan dan penyiasatan harus dijalankan untuk menjawab soalan-soalan berikut:-

(i) Apakah dasar undang-undang berkenaan dengan pelantikan tersebut;
(ii) Apakah rasional dan tujuan pelantikan?
(iii) Apakah emolument yang dibayar termasuk gaji, elaun, kemudahan dan lain-lain
(iv) Apakah manfaat dan samaada perlunya pelantikan tersebut.

Kedudukan dua orang bukan ADUN dilantik untuk menerajui jawatan “penasihat” dan kelayakan kedua-dua ADUN sebagai Ahli Pentadbiran Negeri amatlah diragui.


(b) Kedudukan YB Mohd Nizar sebagai MB dan EXCO Pakatan Rakyatnya dan YB Zambry sebagai MB dan EXCO Barisan Nasional

Negeri Perak sekarang menghadapi krisis politik dan dalam proses ini, adakah wang Rakyat akan dibazirkan oleh pentadbir-pentadbir politik dan/atau kakitangan Kerajaan.

Dalam keadaan sedemikian, PAC amat mengambil berat tentang barisan EXCO mana yang harus dibayar gaji dan elaun dan diberikan segala kemudahan-kemudahan yang diperuntukan dalam undang-undang.

PAC telah membuat keputusan untuk memanggil YB Nizar dan Barisan EXCOnya dan YB Zambry dan Barisan EXCOnya, YB Penasihat Undang-Undang negeri dan YB Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri, jika diperlukan, untuk memberikan keterangan dan penjelasannya.

Dalam masa krisis ini, PAC mempunyai tanggungjawab dan perlu memainkan suatu peranan dalam melindungi hak Rakyat.

Public Account Committee met on Perak Crisis

The Public Account Committee had met today (27.02.2009) on Perak Crisis relating to the use of public funds for the salary of the "Advisors" to YB Zambry and the issue of payment of salary and allowance for the 2 sects of EXCOs. I will be calling a Press Conference tomorrow to release the detail of the outcome.

Public Account Committee to act

Due to the current Political uncertainty and Constitutional Crisis in Perak, being the Chairman of the Public Account Committee, I will be calling up a meeting to inverstigate the following matters:-

(a) The rational and legality of the appointment and payment of salary and allowance of 4 “Advisors” to the purported MB for BN YB Zambry, namely Mr. Mohd Najumuddin Elies, Mr. Chang Ko Youn, Mr. S Veerasingam and Mr. Hamdi Abu Bakar.

(b) There are uncertainty over the status of 2 MBs and 2 EXCO line-ups in Perak. We belive that the new purported MB and EXCO are being paid their salary and allowance now. In the event the High Court in Kuala Lumpur rules againsty Zambry, the existing PR MB and EXCOs needed to be paid. There will be a double payment of salary.

Both the aforesaid items involved public funds. We have the duty to safeguard the public interest.

Update: Statement over...

YB Sivakumar had finished the statement recording just now...

Latest: YB Sivakumar recording statement

YB Sivakumar is now recording statement at a private premise in Ipoh. It is still unsure what is the basis of investigation by the police. The process had taken place since 3-00pm until now 5-05pm.

YB Sivakumar cancelling appointment for statement

It is learned that YB Sivakumar has cancelled the appointment for statement at Sg Senam Police Station today.

Latest: Sivakumar will be recording statement

Speaker YB Sivakumar will be recording statement at Sg Senam Police Station today at 2pm. Similarly I will be recording mine at IPD Ipoh at the same time.
---
Questions remain: Had Khairy being summoned to give statement? Editor of mykmu? How about MACC whether they have summoned Jamaluddin, Osman and Hee Yit Foong?

黄家和施展回马枪
二零零九年二月十九日 下午五时三十分

文：潘君胜

从204霹雳政坛变天，国阵宣布重新执掌霹雳州政权开始，国阵与失去政权的民联一直在短兵相接，不过明显的是民联失去一切州政府资源和权力后，地位已今非昔比，而且还是陷入每况愈下的窘境。而民联唯一能够向国阵反击的，就是希望通过各种可行法律管道下，赢回失去的执政权。

而国阵唯一的隐忧，就是霹雳州政坛变天后现时州议会议长一职，依然是落入民联手中。而霹雳州议会下次的开会日期，将在今年三月至五月间举行。按照国阵的作战计划，如果没有任何变化，国阵在下次州议会会议召开时，凭着3名亲国阵的独立人士支持下，肯定推翻原任的民联议长西华古玛。

不料就在此紧急时刻，熟悉霹雳州议会宪法的行动党桂和园区州议员黄家和律师抢先一步，在本月12日呈交一分投诉书，给予行动党党籍的议长为首的特权委员会，指新的州政府已经违反州宪法。黄家和要求议长迅速召开霹雳州议长特权委员会会议，以讨论国阵州务大臣拿督赞比里，与6名行政议员等所组成的新政府已经抵触宪法事宜。

正当民联内忧外患、军心大乱时刻，黄家和突然采取这一招数对付国阵，顿时堵塞国阵的凌厉攻势，让民联成员党之间暂时可喘一口气。虽然国阵已有心理准备，但是未预料到民联的回马枪这麽锋利，议长竟然向国阵大臣和6名行政议员采取长时间的禁足措施，造成国阵在州议会的议员人数减少而处于不利地位。而目前国阵所能进行的事务，唯有通过国阵和州政府法律谘询团，采取各种对策和还击。

虽然国阵内法律界的人才济济，但是国阵在出作任何反击行动时，都不能超越法律应有范畴。民联采取这一着，无非是要让人知道霹雳州政府操作接近瘫痪，最后唯有宣布州议会解散，再择日重新举行选举，选出州内59名州立法议员，再由赢得多数议席的一方掌政。

攻读法律系的桂和园区州议员黄家和，利用宪法内赋予的规条和权限向州议会特权委员会作出有关投诉后，顿时使国内政坛人士对黄家和刮目相看，而行动党出现一个变节的州议员许月凤，搞到民联政府几乎支离破碎。如今由同样属于行动党的黄家和向国阵反攻，行动党是否因此可以“将功赎罪”，迫使国阵解散州议会举行大选？这将是国阵与民联另一场斗智斗谋的政权角逐战！

拥有急智和才华的黄家和，也是行动党现时社青团全国副团长。自从他击败民政党的原任桂和园区州议员许伟汉，中选为新届州议员的表现不错。而黄家和是行动党继倪可敏之后，让国阵视为头痛的火箭人物。他不只在言论上针对国阵政策一针见血，同时深懂法理，喜欢向国阵的措施追根究底。而这一回，他利用州宪法所赋予的权利行事，牛刀小试，无论成败，已给了国阵一个厉害的当头棒，使国阵从居高临下的原来优势，蒙受突如其来的巨大打击。

網站文章煽動種族主義 黃家和要求警調查

（怡保21日訊）社青團副團長黃家和律師針對親巫統的網站出現教唆傷害民聯霹靂州議會議長西華古瑪的文章，向怡保警局報案及要求警方調查此事。

他指該篇文章存有煽動性的字眼及詞句，這可能會挑起種族之間的仇恨及不和。

黃家和也是桂和區州議員。他今天下午在民聯領袖陪同下，前往怡保警局報案。

黃家和在報案前向媒體發表談話說，他發現該篇文章存有煽動性的字眼及詞句，這可能會挑起種族之間的仇恨及不和。

“在該篇文章的章節里頭，也出現要議長消失意思的等同詞句。”

另一方面，他透露，據他所知，針對該篇文章，目前國內有4宗投報，這分別是吉隆坡兩宗、雙溪大年及亞羅士打各別有1宗。

今午陪同黃家和前往警局報案的包括行動黨霹州投訴局主任張志堅、怡保西區國會議員古拉政治秘書西華蘇古瑪廉、黃家和特別助理丘浚良及民聯回教黨與公正黨青年團領袖等。

A Long Awaited Change...

I have just reached home after attending a Ceramah at Pantai Remis. As expected, the crowd is more than 1500 people, and most notably there are more than 150 Malay friends turn up. It is indeed the first time I am seeing Malay friends attending our Party Ceramah (in the absence of MB Mohd Nizar) which in the past, it will take one in a thousand to happen.

I was selling Rockets and my DVDs which comprise of my final election Speech in Jalan Kampar and my maiden Speech in the Dewan. I approached the crowd and came there a Malay couple. They were asking “Apa CD ini?” So I explained it and emphasis that the first part of my speech is 100% in Cantonese. Then he replied “Taka pa, saya mahu satu, janji kami sokong sahaja.”

What a change. This is the message given by the People in the last election. Malay are voting for DAP and Chinese are willing to vote for PAS. The people are fed up with the 51 years racist administrations of BN. The Perak people will surely give BN another big lesson next round, be it in the snap election in near future or the state election in 3 years time.

Photos to share: Hearing of Committee of Special Privilege

Speaker and the Committee members reaching the Aras G, SUK for the Hearing of Committee of Special Privilege.

I reached the venue for Hearing of the Committee by holding the small green book. I believe in the Standing Order and State Constitution and on that basis and account i lodged a complaint seeking justice for the Perakians.

Myself speaking briefly to the Press after presenting my case to the Committee and leaving the Hearing room.

Police Report against http://www.mykmu.net/

I have lodged a police report at 2.25pm just now on an seditious Article published on http://www.mykmu.net/. The article is of seditious in nature, provoking the hatred feeling among the different races in Malaysia. Further, it also in certain way intigates the harming of another person's life, YB Sivakumar.

---

It is ashamed that the Article started with "Daulat Tunku! Daulat Tuanku! Daulat Tuanku!". The Riyal Highness of Sultan is the symbol of unity among the Perakians and should never be used by these groups to achieve their political purpose. We are in a democratic country and please respect the law, respect the spirit of democracy.

---

PDRM, please act on it. I have just received a call from PDRM for statement to be recorded on my report. I will definately give full co-operations. At the same time, I do not know whether PDRM has or will call the editor or writer of the Article to give statements, which they ought to. As far as i am concerned, i have recorded statement on the last police reports on Khairil i made last week. Yet, had Khairil been called to record statement on the same? Further, almost all of our speakers at Jelapang and Bercham Ceramah / Candle Light Vigil had been summoned to give statements at the Police Station. Where is Khairy?

Committee of Special Privileges

The Hearing of the Committee on my complaint was held at 3pm just now. Dr. Zambry together with his junta all turned up. I have presented my complaint to the Committee accordingly. I have then left the Hearing upon the same being adjourned by the Chairman, YB V Sivakumar.

It is learned that the Committee is still sitting now at SUK Perak with regards of the same.

Hearing for Committee of Special Privileges

I have received notice from YB Dewan Speaker and will be attending the Hearing for Committee of Special Privileges this 2.30pm at SUK as the complainant for the case against Zambry and its junta. Update you all later.

Perak, Arumugan and Eliz Wong's case... A co-incidence?

Selangor executive councillor Elizabeth Wong today announced at PKR headquarters that she is offering to quit from her state cabinet post and state assembly seat following her nude photographs controversy.

"I am resigning in the interest of the party," she said.

It was reported yesterday that nude photographs of Wong, who is PKR Wanita publicity chief, were being distributed in public.

Perak with the missing reps Jamal, Osman and Hee, Kedah’s Arumugan and the latest Eliz Wong’s case, would they be mere co-incidence?

Zambry and his junta should be brought before the Committee of Privilege

Which Povision in the Perak Constitution allows Dr. Zambry & his junta to be appointed as MB & Exco?


The unconstitutional grab for power by Barisan National leaders has serious effects on the standing and good name of our august Perak State Assembly. Its reputation has been tarnished and the people are confused over how the government has been changed contrary to the Perak Constitution, which is the supreme law of our state.

As Dr. Zambry and his junta has acted contrary to the Perak Constitution and the Standing Orders of the Perak State Assembly, I have lodged a complaint against him by writing to the Speaker to convene the Committee of Privilege to hold an enquiry at the earliest possible date.

As Assemblymen and women, Dr. Zambry and his junta have sworn to “preserve, uphold and defend” the Perak Constitution. In total disregard for the Perak Constitution, they have proceeded to have themselves installed as “Menteri Besar & Exco” in violation of the Constitution. Menteri Besar Dato Seri Nizar and his Exco have neither resigned nor lost any vote of confidence in the Assembly. It is only after such events have occurred, can they consider themselves constitutionally competent to assume the office of government.

I am hopeful the Speaker will convene a meeting soon.

At the hearing of the Committee of Privileges, I shall ask Dr. Zambry and his junta this crucial question, which answer will expose the illegality of his government: Under which provision of the Perak Constitution do they base their right to form government.

I will call witnesses which will include the State Secretary and others who will help the committee to decide how to take appropriate actions the wrongdoers.

国阵及巫统骑劫民意

民主行动党霹雳州桂和区州议员黄家和律师于2009年2月6日（星期五）在怡保所发表的新闻稿：

（怡保6日讯）民主行动党桂和区州议员黄家和律师表示，国阵以及巫统通过不道德的政治手段以图夺取霹雳州政权，已经骑劫了308大选的民意。

也是社青团全国副团长的黄家和今天连同该党副组织秘书郑福基、其政治秘书施韦加、黄云龙及丘浚良等前往狮美巴刹，向市民简单汇报当今霹雳州局势后，如此表示。

黄氏表示，多天来的来电、短讯以及今天在狮美巴刹市民的反应，一面倒都是希望在这个不稳定的政治局势下，州议会可以解散以便让人民重新给与委托，毕竟民联政府是人民票选出来的，并获得54巴仙的支持选票。

“如果国阵以及巫统认为人民支持它们肮脏夺权计划的话，为何又不敢支持解散州议会，光明正大、堂堂正正寻求选民的委托？”

另一方面，黄氏表示，在霹雳州宪法下，州务大臣只会在辞职或是被州议会通过不信任动议下台，而现任州务大臣拿督斯里尼查至今还是合法的大臣。民联也绝对不会承认国阵所推选的大臣人选，因为这是违反州宪法的。

Pakatan Untuk Rakyat, Rakyat Bersama Pakatan

This is to announce that DAP Canning will be organizing a Chinese New Year Open House tonight (06.02.2009) at 7pm @ Pusat Khidmat ADUN Canning (DAP) located at No. 417 Jalan Pasar Kg Simee Ipoh (oppositie Kg Simee market). We have planned this open house two weeks ago and we have decided to proceed with the open house and take the chance to explain to the People of current political status in Perak. Speeched will be delivered. Those who already confirmed coming are Kit Siang, Ngeh, Nga, Fook Chye and myself. Please help to inform your friends. Enq: 012-5218840 Mr. Ray Ng.

Stand up Malaysian! Stand up Perakians!

Malaysiakini: State secretary Abdul Rahman Hashim instructs Menteri Besar Mohd Nizar and all exco members to vacate their offices at the state secretariat as soon as possible. They have been reminded not to take any official documents with them. They were also told to hand in their official car keys as well as the keys to their offices.

Questions:-
(a) Had any one ever confirmed that the resignation of Three (3) ADUNs be invalid?
(b) Is it legal to force the MB to vacate office without a motion of non confidence being passed?
(c) Whether the voice of the People are being heard?

Stand up Malaysian! Stand up Perakians! Join the rally tonight at Stadium Perak 7pm. We show the People’s Power!

Sultan Refusal to Dissolve Assembly

The Royal Highness Sultan of Perak had refused to grant a dissolution. I received a lot of calls and sms-es addressing the sadness over the issue, same to me... Is the decision in line with what had been said by Raja Muda Raja Dr Nazrin Shah that: "as the head of state at the state level and head of the country at the national level, the Ruler plays a role in upholding stability and justice, and strengthening solidarity and unity"? Should put a bigger question mark for discussion here...

MB, Najib...

MB is still at the Palace despite Najib's announcement that BN had enough numbers. Latest source said that MB is still there and no result yet at the moment. I did not watch the news just now but heard that our Hee Yit Foong was there with Najib Tun Razak. Sorry to say this but shame on her!

Crucial Period...

We heard that Najib is having a Press Conference at Putrajaya now. Is he announcing that he has enough numbers to form Government?

At the meanwhile, MB is at the Palace seeking for Rpyal Assent for a dissolution of Assembly. All in PR but YB Nazaruddin had signed a letter to the Sultan seeking for the dissolution. YB Nazaruddin was “hijacked” by two UMNO reps who were ealier been said will be crossing over to PR. According to source he was brought to see Najib at Putrajaya.

Jamal, Osman.... and now, Hee Yit Foong

I received a lot of calls and sms-es since this early morning. My apology for being unable to answer all the calls and reply all the sms-es as sometimes the calls coming in as “call-waiting” while i was on the other line. Sometimes i also have to press the busy button when the calls come in as i was typing sms-es. My sincere apology.

I understand that the Perakians are concerned on the current state of Perak Government after the declaration by Jamal, Osman and Hee Yit Foong (an open betrayal of the People’s trust, i hate it!) that they have become independent ADUN. We tahnk for your concern. However, i am not convenient to divulge too many things here or over the phone, and you all may just wait for the next few hours to see what are the developments.

Let’s hope for the best.

A hectic day ended with the meeting at MB residence

A meeting at MB residence had just over. The Dewan Speaker Sdr Sivakumar had just strongly denounced the decision by the EC on the vacancy of Behrang and Changkat Jering seats and reaffirm that both Jamal and Osman had resigned and no longer the ADUN for the Perak State Assembly.

Finally, I can have some much needed rest. There is only a break of around an hour between all the events today. Feeling asleep now…

The independence of EC is under threat

We were at the Kuala Kangsar Palace this morning, attending the Jubilee Perak celebration. We received news at around 1.30pm that the EC had announced that there will be no by-election for Changkat Jering and Behrang. The santapan ended around 3.00pm and when on our way back, we received sms from Ngeh asking us to attend a Press Conference on the same issue at DAP HQ at 3.45pm.

We are of the view that the EC had erred (or more accurately, biased!!!) in making such decision. The EC had usurped the Power of the Speaker by declaring that there are doubts in the resignations. It is for the Court to decide, whether there are any doubts in the resignations, and it is for the duo, Jamal and Osman to seek a Court Order declaring so, and its seem that they are not interested and not bothered (or unable) to do so! It is not for the EC not to call for by-election when the Speaker had requested them to do so. Is the EC independent? The answer is obvious. I have personally experienced it, when a year before 308 election the Postal Votes in Canning had increased from 1300 to around 2500, by putting 3-4 camps into Canning from Tambun Parliamentary Constituency without any notice and any legal justification!

The PR Reps will be meeting soon on the latest development of the matter.

Osman and Jamal...

According to media and web reports, Osman’s agent had lodged a police report while Jamaluddin had denied that he had tendered resignation.

In addition to that, Jamal had also sent his agent to forward a letter of protest to SPR at around 9am this morning.

In this situation, why can’t the two just come out and explain where were they about and what are they planning next?

The next question is: would the corruption charges against the duo be dropped? UMNO must be having a headache now as to how to deal with this if they are to use this to get the duo to cross over, as MACC is at least “seems” going all out against corruption now...

On the other hand, we had 2 meetings this morning, one is BBC meeting and the other is DAP meeting with Sdr Lim Kit Siang. The BBC had expressed its support on the State Government and Kit Siang’s experience and wisdom had helped us, especially the new comers, to clear some doubts on how to do on what to happen next.

We, the DAP, hold firm in one principle in elected rep party-hopping: those who cross over to the other party must first resigned and the Federal Constitution be amended to the effect that the one resigned is allowed to contest again so as to seek the fresh mandate from the People.

By Election for Behrang and Changkat Jering

Perak state assembly speaker V Sivakumar had announced that he had received letters of resignation from both Behrang assemblyperson Jamaluddin Mat Radzi and Changkat Jering assemblyperson Osman Jailu and the latters have stepped down as state assemblypersons with immediate effect
Sivakumar declared both the Behrang and Chankat Jering state seats vacant, necessitating two by-elections soon. He added that he will be informing the Election Commission tomorrow about the vacancy. The by-elections for the two state seats will have to be held within 60 days.

Whilst a lot are expecting the duo to cross over to UMNO after missing for 5 days, the resignation at least provide a fair platform for the position of PR and BN to be re-determined by the voters in a democracy way.

We do not know the true reason behind the resignations. Would it be a genuine one or a sandiwara planned by UMNO? However, I started to have a worry now: would the duo, as reported in the Star today, push the blame (again) on the so-called “Ngeh-Nga Factor” and destabilizing the unity of PR in Perak?

Ever since the 308 election and the forming of State Government, a lot of blame (apart from this incident) had been unfairly and unjustly put on the so-called “Ngeh-Nga Factor”. For me, politically and personally, I am not agreeable to that. I would invite all to answer a simple question: Apart from being seen as the main figure in the State Government, have “Ngeh-Nga” committed any wrong or any of the policies made against the People’s interest?

章卡遮令和美冷两个议席悬空补选

霹雳州议会议长西华古玛证实，公正党两名行政议员——章卡遮令州议员莫哈末奥斯曼和美冷州议员贾玛鲁丁已呈递辞职信，立即辞去各自的州议员职务。

西华古玛是於今日傍晚5点45分，在家中接到两名议员透过传真方式递交的辞职信函。

如此一来，西华古玛宣布章卡遮令和美冷两个议席悬空，需要尽快进行补选。他将在明天通知选举委员会相关的悬空，补选需要在60天内举行。

Rumours flying....

Rumours are flying all around. The web reporting had said that DAP Jelapang ADUN YB Hee Yit Foong also “missing”. We do not know how far the word “missing” meant. In normal circumstances, and from my personal experience, due to tight schedule, it is not strange for an Elected Rep to be unable to answer phone calls. However, there are still no news about the Two PKR EXCOs who had been missing for 5 days since the First Day of CNY.

Whatever the situation may be, Canning shall be the strong back bone behind the PR Government.

Let’s pray and hope for the best.

Latest Development of 2 EXCOs

We had just concluded an emergency meeting at MB residence. The meeting was attended by majority of the PR Reps including Dato' Nasaruddin who had crossed over to PR on the CNY eve. Those absentees (with apology) are State EXCOs YB Nga Kor Ming, YB Thomas Su, Deputy Speaker YB Hee Yit Foong, State Assemblyperson YB Yew Tian Hoe and YB Leong Mee Meng.

---

I received the notice of meeting around 10-30pm yesterday night, and i have to abandon my previous plan to go back to my hometown Bidor helping out my parents in their stalls.

---

The meeting started at 9.30am and we are briefed by what actually happened. Apparently the last time the 2 EXCOs were seen was at the last EXCO meeting on Friday. They were incommunicado since 26th January, the first day of CNY.

---

The PR believed that their sudden M.I.A. had very much to do with the corruption charges faced by the Two and the Hearing of the same falls on 10.02.2009. The circumstances show that the whole incident was planned, particularly by the other Sect in the Assembly, in order to regain power. Would the dropping of Charges be used as a consideration of defection? Let us just wait and see...

---

In any event, we shall serve the Public as usual. It is sometime more convenient in getting problems solved when you are in the Government, but it does not mean that we cannot continue the struggle by turning into opposition. We are implenting the good policies and changes when we are in Government now, but we will only change to the role of pushing for good policies and changes in the Government when we are in opposition. That is the only different, at least for me,

---

A lot of things, people and leaders had changed especially after 308. Be it those always seems to support the previous Government previously had become so supportive. Those "leaders" in the party who had shown little interest in the Party (DAP) before 308 had changed and suddenly become so interested in the Party matter.

---

We will see the true faces of these People in the worst event of BN/UMNO succeeded in their plan, which started with the sudden M.I.A. of the Two EXCOs.

---

As at now, no panic, the State Government is still stable and will be working for the People as usual...
