Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin today took the risk of irking the Perak ruler by refusing the step down from his menteri besar post after being told to do so by the sultan.
"I apologise for rejecting the decision of the sultan. We are just pleading for the proper process to be followed," he told reporters after attending a meeting of Pakatan Rakyat leaders at the menteri besar's residence in Ipoh this afternoon.
Mohd Nizar argued that the sultan should have accepted his request for the assembly to be dissolved.
"Let the people determine on who they want as their representatives. If BN wins, we will accept it willingly," he said.
Anil Netto, now covering LIVE: Perak's political crisis continues said:
All eyes are on Nizar's next move. This man Nizar - how ironic it is that he was the MB that the Perak Sultan felt was the best compromise choice among the Pakatan parties after the last general election. Who could have guessed what an inspired choice that was - for Nizar went on to earn tremendous respect among the people of Perak for his concern for the people. Instintively, many Perakians sense that he is a leader they can identify with - and they seem proud of him.
