Perak assembly to be dissolved today?
Feb 4, 09 12:12pm
Perak Menteri Besar Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin is expected to have an audience with the sultan within the next hour. It is learnt that he is seeking the dissolution of the state assembly.If the sultan accedes to the request, a snap state election will have to be called in view of the present political uncertainty in Perak as a result of defections.
MB Nizar said that this would be the last option, yesterday. Looks like Pakatan has no choice. They may argue about the legality of EC’s statement or the validity of the resignation letter, but previous court cases had favored the elected representatives. So, rather than taking chances in court, the state government decides to take chance in election, if they state assembly is dissolved today.
If dissolved, it would be a election that BN won’t appreciate especially with the economic problems at hand. On the other side, the creation of dual JKKKs and and other steps by Federal government may create awareness in Perak that if the same coalitions rules both Federal and state, things will be easy (but not necessarily something which is good/right).
The Bota assemblyman may lose in coming elections, while the two ex-PKR fellow may well see the end of their political careers.

You are out of date…Bota ADUN has rejoined BN. And I think there is a good chance that PR will lose Perak instead of consolidating their power. I don’t think Perak will be as easy as KK or PP by-elections…but having an election at this time of economic crisis is highly inappropriate……I blame Anwar starting this mess and in the end shooting his own feet..
Yup, just read it in Utusan.
indeed anwar was the one planned defection but the one gain control through defection is najib . So is the history najib is the one going to be the ugly face ….. hahhaha …. see who actually got shot own his own feet …..? Actually najib helped anwar from getting bad name …. cant stop laughing…..
