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.
