Court ruled YB Datuk Seri Nizar is rightful MB

The KL High Court has ruled in favour of Pakatan Rakyat Menteri Besar Nizar Jamaluddin in the lawsuit he filed against Umno leader Zambry Kadir for wrongfully and illegally usurping his position as chief minister of Perak after a coup d’etat orchestrated by Prime Minister Najib Razak three months ago.
“The High Court’s decision is that Nizar is still the rightful Menteri Besar based on the Constitution as he never faced a vote of no-confidence in the state assembly,” said Justice Abdul Aziz Abd Rahim who delivered the judgment.
Abdul Aziz also rejected Zambry’s application to stay the decision.
His ruling sparked a tidal wave of cheers and jubilation across the northwestern state and indeed the rest of the country. For three long and painful months, both Perakians and Malaysians have suffered as Najib’s Umno-BN refused to respect the wishes of the Perak people for fresh election.
