Democracy Died in Perak

The law and freedom in this country died today or rather killed or should I say C4ed by the present government! If you read the events that were unfolding recently in Malaysia it makes one wonder if we are in Zimbabwe. Today the legitimate Perak Speaker was forcibly dragged and removed his chair by several uniformed police personnel.


Malaysikini quoted that he was then dragged out of the House by a group of plainclothes personnel wearing tags which read 'official'. Sivakumar resists and shouted, "I am the legal speaker. Why am I being treated like this?" It cannot be ascertained if these were police personnel. Does this mean that anyone with tag can enter the assembly hall but not some MP’s who had an invitation from the speaker?

Sivakumar also added that the state legal advisor and the sergeant-at-arms refused to follow his orders and frustrated his attempts to convene a proper sitting however very willing to enforce Ganesan's order to remove him. They even switched off the speaker’s microphone! We know whom they were working for don’t we?
Anyway all is not lost as it is a good lesson for the rakyat as it paved way the opposition was looking for;
1) The Parliament speaker, what his name Pendikar can be dragged to court for misusing his power vested upon him by suspending Gobind Deo
2) He can be dragged off his chair if he refuses to remove himself
3) If he is still adamant his microphone can be turned off
4) Strangers with a tag can walk in and drag him off

Good thing that the BN government has shown the way how to topple the government. Let me think if only Sabah & Sarawak MPs’ switch camps? Does anyone know of the list that Anwar mentioned sometime ago? Malaysia Boleh! Malaysia Boleh! Malaysia Boleh!
