NST reports Nizar announces dissolution of Perak government

I’m surprised to read NST update:

Nizar declares Perak Assembly dissolved
By : Bernama

IPOH, Wed:
Perak Menteri Besar made the extraordinary declaration that the Perak State Legislative Assembly has been immediately dissolved. In a Press conference held just now in Ipoh, he said he has an audience with the Sultan of Perak at 5pm to get the Ruler’s consent for the assembly’s dissolution.

But the news disappeared soon after.

However I managed to get the original version from Bernama:

Perak MB Announces State Assembly Dissolved, To Seek Palace Consent

IPOH, Feb 4 (Bernama) — Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin today in a drastic and an unprecedented move announced an immediate dissolution of the state assembly following political uncertainty in the state.

He told a press conference in Ipoh that he is seeking an audience with the Sultan of Perak to obtain his consent.

— BERNAMA

This is most unusual. He had not seen the Sultan yet and already make the announcement. I think he will get another tongue-lashing from the ruler.
