The Perak state assembly's special privileges committee today suspended the state's newly-minted menteri besar Zambry Abdul Kadir and all his six executive councillors. The decision was announced by Perak state assembly speaker V Sivakumar after the committee's inquiry proceeding in Ipoh this afternoon. Zambry was slapped with an 18-month suspension while the excos have been suspended for 12 months. The latest development plunges Perak into another crisis following BN's seizure of the state government two weeks ago. Sivakumar is still the Perak speaker as the BN government has yet to convene the state assembly to replace him with one of their own. In a statement to the media, Sivakumar said the decision was reached because the seven had failed to provide an explanation for their contempt of the state assembly by declaring themselves menteri besar and excos. "I have decided to bar Datuk Zambry with immediate effect from attending any assembly session for the next 18 months and the six exco members have also been barred for 12 months," read the four-paragraph statement.
