High Court wrongly ruled; Court of Appeal :Zambry is MB

The Court of Appeal ruling in Putrajaya declaring Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir as the rightful Menteri Besar of Perak.

The Court of Appeal found that the High Court had wrongly ruled on May 11 that Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin was the rightful Menteri Besar of Perak, and set aside the decision.

The decision proved that the Barisan Nasional had acted within the law in the matter. Thus, the present BN government of Perak is legitimate and can continue to exist, continue to administer Perak.

The court decision also showed that the Sultan of Perak had also acted in accordance with the provisions of the Perak state constitution.

The court ruling also emphasized that the authority to dissolve the state legislative assembly rested with the Sultan of Perak and that it was left to the ruler to make a decision.

Opposition has no reason to get overexcited

BN still have the upper hand with regards to Perak state assembly, especially with its numerical strength.

Ironically, with its '28 + 3' assemblypersons as opposed to Pakatan's 28, BN should have no problem in pushing any motion through in Perak state assembly.

Due to the scenario, opposition has no reason to get overexcited on the Kuala Lumpur High Court's decision to recognize Pakatan Rakyat leader Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as the legitimate Menteri Besar of Perak as BN will file an appeal as soon as possible to win the final victory.

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak called on the people of Perak to remain calm and not get overexcited with the court's decision.

"We will solve the problem. I can see the sultan anytime but it does not matter, it is the purview of the sultan. I don't have immediate plans to see the sultan."
