In the latest twist to the political saga in Perak, state ruler Sultan Azlan Shah was accused of not citing any provisions under the state constitution when ordering Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin to resign as menteri besar.
This was revealed in an affidavit filed by the ousted menteri besar with the Kuala Lumpur High Court registry yesterday.The Pakatan Rakyat leader gave a detailed account of what had transpired at the crucial meeting with the ruler on Feb 4 and 5.
Mohd Nizar also denied and questioned the version stated by Perak legal advisor Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid in his affidavit. According to him, Ahmad Kamal’s version did not constitute the whole truth.
In his affidavit to support the affidavit by Barisan Nasional’s newly installed menteri besar Zambry Abdul Kadir, Ahmad Kamal noted that the ruler had cited the constitution when ordering the ousted menteri besar to resign.
Mohd Nizar also revealed that during his 15-minute audience with the Sultan on Feb 5, he had warned the ruler of the possible consequences he could face in failing to dissolve the state assembly.

Many people I know and talk to, can see the evil BN at work in Perak power grab. No need news from Malaysiakini to feed them with the 'opposition' view. Uncles sitting at the kopitiam with no access to Internet can see that Umno-led BN is wobbly and desperate to hold on to power. BN, be grateful to the rakyat! Remember who put you in power.
