PERAK DEWAN SPEAKER HAS NO AUTHORITY TO EXPEL OR SUSPEND PERAK STATE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY SECRETARY

Perak State Secretary Datuk Dr Abdul Rahman Hashim claims that the Perak State Assembly Speaker V Sivakumar has NO POWERS to remove or expel the Dewan Secretary since the post of State Legislative Assembly Secretary was a Grade M52 post under the Administrative and Diplomatic Service (PTD) which was approved by the State authority through an establishment warrant signed by the Perak Menteri Besar.

It seems the expulsion of Abdullah Antong Sabri by Speaker V. Sivakumar yesterday was invalid and could not be enforced.

Another limbo created by the interference of the Barisan Nasional government.

It seems that the Barisan Nasional is using all its powers to ensure that the Perak Legislative Assembly would have its sitting on 7 May 2009 in order for BN to remain in power. After the expiry of the deadline - 6 months, the State would have to have a fresh State elections, which every Perakians know would be a disaster for the Barisan Nasional, Perak State Secretary and the Perak Palace since the new administration elected would ensure that they are reprimanded for creating this 'chaos' for 'personal gains'.
