'EXPECT TURMOIL IN NEXT ASSEMBLY': NIZAR



“We will table the motion of no confidence and then we will see who will get the majority.
This has to be tested inside the state assembly,” said ex-MB of Perak Dato Seri Modammad Nizar

Ex-Mentri Besar of Perak Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin expects “turmoil” at the next the state legislative assembly sitting when Pakatan Rakyat moves its motion of no confidence against the state Barisan Nasional government at the assembly.

Nizar said he expected Barisan to have only 21 assemblymen against Pakatan’s 28 with the suspension of Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, his six exco members and the “three frogs” ie, Behrang assemblyman Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi, Changkat Jering assemblyman Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu and Jelapang assemblyman Hee Yit Foong who quit Pakatan to become Barisan-friendly independents.

“He noted that state Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar was seeking consent from the Sultan of Perak to convene a special assembly.

On Dr Zambry having declared that he and his six exco members would turn up for the next sitting, Nizar said: “They have been suspended by the Speaker.”

He reiterated that only the Speaker had the power to decide whom to suspend or expel from the House, and that his decision was final.

On accusations that the Speaker’s decision was biased, Nizar said: “As a Pakatan member and Tronoh assemblyman, obviously he will act based on truth and will decide what is fair and just."

He also asked Perakians to pray for Sivakumar’s safety following supposed threats made against the Speaker, who has come under increased security._ The Star Online
