Perak Menteri Besar Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin today clocked in to work as usual at 10am, along with his exco members, but 45 minutes later they were out of the state secretariat building.

In that 45 minutes, Mohd Nizar's press conference was interrupted twice by state secretary Abdul Rahman Hashim and Ipoh police chief Azisman Alias.

Mohd Nizar refused to hold a meeting with Abdul Rahman and left with his convoy to his official residence where he is expected to hold a press conference later.

Below is the chain of events as it happened this morning beginning with the latest entries:

12.40pm: Perak state assembly speaker V Sivakumar said he will be sending a letter to Sultan Azlan Shah seeking consent for a special state assembly sitting.

The sitting is to determine who actually controls the assembly.

He also said that he will be urging the sultan to postpone the swearing in ceremony of Zambry Abd Kadir as the BN menteri besar today at 3.30pm.

The letter will be sent as soon as possible, he said.

The brief press conference was held at DAP headquarters in Ipoh.

11am: The police closed the road in front of the menteri besar's official residence until 7pm to prevent illegal gatherings.

10:45am: Perak CPO Zulkifli Abdullah said the police have secured the state secretariat building upon a request by the state secretary.

Will the letter ever reach the Sultan? Hopefully. If it does, will there be a reversal of fortune?
