A SHAMELESS BN INSISTS ON AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL GOVT

“Keeping in mind that this is not a conventional situation of a no-confidence vote,
that this is a crossing over, and that two seats are in dispute,
the question whether the Sultan can direct the resignation of the MB or otherwise
does not arise because respectfully, he does not have the power to do so”

“A vote of no-confidence can only be taken by people who are legitimately entitled to vote, meaning people who are still assemblymen,” he clarified.

“As such, the legal basis of the Sultan’s directive may not be found,”

- Malik Imtiaz Sarwar

==============================

"A shameful scene is unfolding in Perak.

Let me follow up on what I said earlier about the status of the Chief Minister.The Constitution is the highest law of the land. It is the foundation and source of legal authority, and the Rulers are sworn to protect and uphold it.

Acording to the Constitution, Dato’ Seri Nizar Jamaluddin is Menteri Besar until he resigns of his own accord, or is removed by a vote of no-confidence in a formal sitting of the assembly.

The Constitution makes no provision for his removal by any other means, including by petitions or instructions from any other authority."

- Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Veteran
