Nizar The Perak Menteri Besar, So What?

The federal high court today ruled that Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin is the real mentri besar of Perak. Some said this is a pleasant surprise because many have expected that the court would rule in favour of Zambry.

I still sceptical about the independence of our judiciary system. I still not convinced just because of this particular verdict. In the previous few cases in relation to the Perak constitution crisis, the court ruling have been to BN's favoure. Today's ruling though is a set back to Zambry's administration but there is nothing to stop Zamry from removing Nizar in the shortest possible time. BN can just call for an emergency assembly sitting to table a motion of no-confidence to remove Nizar. The Ace is stil in Zambry's hand.

Nizar also said to be seeking an audience with the Sultan but the latter is not in the country. So, the situation is not to PR's advantange. There is no big deal in being declared as the legitimate owner of the state executive because PR simply don't have the majority in the state asembly.

PR should not be overjoyed and they should have thought of the strategies going forward, regardless of the court's verdict. These two days is very important to Nizar. Time is really short...
