IPOH: Under a raintree and the scorching sun, Perak Speaker V. Sivakumar created history by convening an emergency meeting of the Perak “State Assembly” in a vacant plot a stone’s throw from its usual venue.The 27 assemblymen who turned up – all from the Pakatan Rakyat – stood around Sivakumar, who had earlier donned his robe, and convened the sitting at 10.20am.
The 28 Barisan Nasional and three Independent assemblymen were not present.
Dressed in black suits, as they would have in the State Assembly, the assemblymen who turned up took the conducted matters of the House seriously and were oblivious to the heat and cheering crowd which had turned up to watch this latest twist in the tussle between Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat for control of the state.

The police left them alone and did not move away from the State Secretariat building.
The emergency meeting was held under the tree as police had barred all elected representatives from entering the State Secretariat where the State Assembly is located.
The Pakatan reps did not play to the “gallery” despite them cheering and holding up placards in support, and passed the three motions which were tabled within 15 minutes.
