The Court of Appeal by a one man judge Ramly Mohd Ali this morning allowed a stay of execution on yesterday's High Court decision which recognised Datuk Seri Ir Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as the rightful Perak Menteri Besar and with this the Perak State is back to a political limbo again.The only person who could save the situation is the Sultan of Perak or the Regent since his father, Sultan Azlan Shah is on a long holiday in the United States by using his prerogative to DISSOLVE the State Assembly, paving a way for a fresh State election which will immediately overcome this dilemma.
It seems so obvious that Barisan Nasional does not want to respect the Court ruling that the State and Federal Constitution need to be respected and obeyed if it is not in its favour. The UMNO-led Barisan Nasional wants to 'hijack' the situation and since they control the federal government they would use their 'power' to obtain 'court rulings' in their favour which deprives the Perakians a legitimate government that were elected by them to govern.
The only known solution is to DISSOLVE THE STATE ASSEMBLY immediately before more political damage is created by the 'unscrupulous' Barisan Nasional leadership.
The Barisan Nasional may even convene an Emergency Special sitting of the State Assembly in the next few days to pass a motion of no confidence vote on legitimate Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Nizar just to circumvent the Court ruling.
Will the Sultan or Regent grant the DISSOLUTION as demanded by Perakians to resolve this matter?

Although Datuk Seri Nizar was with Nazrin early morning, we have not heard anything positive that would have lifted up our spirits. The court of appeal's decision was expected and it would appear that we are heading back to square one except that, and as you have put it correctly, Zambry may hijack this situation by convening an emergency sitting to pass a vote of no confidence against Nizar and PR will become the opposition and then they would have to bide their time for another opportunity. Perakians are angry and dismayed by this turn of events. Let us wait and see if there are any further developments.
