PENANTI, May 23 — Parti KeAdilan Rakyat's (PKR) Dr Mansor Othman will face three independents in the Penanti by-election this May 31 after one was disqualified.
But they refuse to allow it to end there. They refuse to acknowledge that they can’t get me in spite of bending the rules and moving the goalposts so many times halfway through the trial. This is no longer even a kangaroo court. They have set new standards for what a kangaroo court should look like.
Datuk Seri Zambry Abd Kadir may have mentioned Mahatma Gandhi but it is Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin who will walk the talk.In its latest bid to force state elections, Pakatan Rakyat will organise a three-day hunger strike starting on Tuesday that will be led by the ousted Nizar and dumped state speaker V. Sivakumar.
The hunger strike was planned before the Court of Appeal yesterday unanimously overturned the High Court decision that Nizar is the rightful Perak mentri besar.[more]
These are the notes taken of the Court of Appeal’s Decision in the MB v MB matter delivered orally on 22.5.2009 by Raus Sharif JCA on behalf of the His Lordship, Zainun Ali JCA and Ahmad Maarop JCA. Any mistakes herein are mine.Firstly, we would like to thank counsel in assisting us to arrive at our decision. The decision is unanimous and these are our views:
1. The granting or withholding of consent to dissolve the State Assembly is a royal prerogative to be exercised by His Royal Highness (HRH).
2. From the facts of this case, the request made by the Respondent (Nizar) to dissolve the State Assembly was made under Article 16(6) of the Perak Constitution, and not under Article 36(2).[more]
If they can’t get a three-zero verdict, then it must at least be a two-one verdict with Zainun ruling in favour of the opposition. Then the government would be seen as doing the ‘right’ and ‘fair’ thing and the opposition would no longer have any grounds to complain.
The Ex-Policemen’s Association of Malaysia (PBPM) has protested against a call for former communist leader Chin Peng to be allowed to return to Malaysia.PBPM acting president Ku Mohamad Khalid Tuan Ibrahim said the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) had waged a reign of terror against the country during the Emergency where scores of policemen were slain.
The suggestion made by Penang Gerakan chairman Datuk Dr Teng Hock Nan is uncalled for, said Ku Mohamad.[more]

What people say in the heat of the moment can sometimes be so deep, so cutting and so illuminating.After the Court of Appeal unanimously overturned a High Court judgment and ruled that Datuk Zambry Abdul Kadir was the rightful mentri besar of Perak, both sides had much to say.
The Malaysian Insider examines some of the more colourful quotes.
Barisan National (BN) lawyer Datuk Hafarizam Harun today claimed triumphantly that there is no longer any crisis in Perak with the Appeals Court judgment that ruled in favour of Datuk Zambry Abdul Kadir as the state’s mentri besar.“In accordance with other Commonwealth countries, the right to choose mentri besar and prime minister is the ultimate right of the sultan,” Hafarizam told reporters outside the courtroom in the Palace of Justice.
“So the result today shows that the action by the sultan to appoint Zambry is one which is in accordance with the law,” he added.[more]
The Court of Appeal today returned a unanimous decision that Barisan Nasional's Datuk Zambry Abd Kadir is the rightful Perak mentri besar, ruling that his Pakatan Rakyat rival Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddinn had ceased to command the majority in the Perak state assembly.The judges also ruled that the Sultan was right in appointing Zambry the MB and that there was no need for a vote of no confidence in the House against Nizar.
The three-member Bench comprising Justices Md Raus Shariff, Zainun Ali and Ahmad Maarop delivered judgment after hearing submissions from both parties yesterday.[more]
Kelantan State Assembly Speaker Mohd Nassuruddin Daud is to notify the Election Commission of the vacant Manik Urai state seat on Monday.
The by-election in the Penanti state constituency, nomination for which is tomorrow, is likely to see a four-cornered contest, with a candidate from Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and three independents.Nomination will take place at the Dewan Perdana of the National Youth Skills Institute (IKBN) in Penanti. Polling is on May 31.[more]
The purpose for the phone call became clearer after our son handed the phone back to the police officer. They wanted to negotiate a settlement. The problem is small, we were told. This can be settled easily enough. They know we would rather bury this problem than let it become public knowledge. We are, after all, high profile. And bad publicity such as this would not help our image.

Rivals for decades over the same Chinese voter base, Gerakan and MCA are now bickering again over the appointment of Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon as Barisan Nasional (BN) head in Penang.MCA grassroots members in Penang are said to be up in arms over Koh’s appointment by BN chairman Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Writing in his myzaidibrahim.wordpress.com blog, the former law minister also cautioned the Prime Minister to watch out for his Umno warlords whom he said were fair-weather and have vested interests.[more]
Slamming Barisan Nasional (BN) for its attempt to “hoodwink” the people, Perak DAP chairman Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham said double standards are obviously being practised. “When we showed the recording of the May 7 incident at a DAP dinner in Sitiawan, it was abruptly stopped by the police,” the Beruas MP said in a press statement.
“But MCA was free to show its distorted version of the incident at their dinner last Sunday in Ipoh.”[more]

Keputusan berkenaan diambil oleh Jawatankuasa Hak dan Keistimewaan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) semalam setelah Khir - yang juga Ketua Pembangkang Selangor didapati tidak menghadiri siasatan Jawatankuasa Pilihan Khas Mengenai Keupayaan, kebertanggungjawaban dan Ketelusan (Selcat) Selangor Mac lalu berhubung perbelanjaan dana agensi kerajaan negeri.[more]
May 20, 2009 - Serdang lawmaker Teo Nie Ching, one of 11 people arrested but denied access to their lawyers last night, has demanded that Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein should explain the abuse of power by the police.
The consensus that is emerging today among Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders is that even if the court of appeal rules in its favour this Thursday, it will still ask the Sultan of Perak to dissolve the state assembly to pave the way for fresh polls.The Malaysian Insider understands that the Perak constitutional crisis was a major item on the agenda at today’s supreme council meeting of the ruling coalition.
The rationale for such a move is that the ruling coalition stands to lose more credibility and that perception that it is the villain in the Perak power grab would only grow.[more]
