Today in History - Perak Crisis 3 Feb 2009
Feb 3: The good and efficient Perak Pakatan Rakyat government falls after Behrang assemblyman Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi and Changkat Jering assemblyman Mohd Osman quit Pakatan Keadilan Rakyat. They became 'Barisan Nasional friendly' even though in August 2008 many BN leaders had condemned them for being corrupted.
Feb 4: Jelapang assemblywoman Hee Yit Foong who claimed to be a faithful DAP member for 20 over years quit the DAP. She was at the press conference held by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib declaring the fall of the PR government.
Feb 6: Datuk Seri Dr Zambry was sworn in by the Sultan as the Perak Mentri Besar
Feb 13: Dato’ Seri Nizar filed a lawsuit to challenge the legitimacy of Zambry's 'appointment'
Feb 18: Perak state Legislative Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar suspended Zambry for 18 months following recommendations by the assembly’s Committee of Priviledge. He also suspended the six BN 'state excos'.
Mar 3: Speaker V. Sivakumar convened the state assembly under the ‘Democracy Tree' after the policemen and ‘thugs’ prevented Pakatan Rakyat assemblymen from going into the state assembly to hold their meeting.
Mar 10: Speaker V. Sivakumar filed a lawsuit at the KL High Court against the 3 BN friendly assemblymen and the Election Commission.
Apr 16: The Federal Court ruled that V. Sivakumar does not have the power to suspend Dr Zambry and his exco members. Speaker without power?
Apr 20: Dato’ Seri Nizar filed an affidavit at the KL High Court stating that he had sought the consent of Sultan to dissolve the state assembly because of the deadlock in Perak.
May 7: Speaker V. Sivakumar was dragged from his speaker’s chair and out of the Perak State Assembly by over 60 police officers and ‘thug’ who entered the assembly illegally. Police arrested 69 people including MPs and ADUN in Ipoh.
In Kuala Lumpur, the police arrested 14 people for having a candlelight vigil in support of activist Wong Chin Huat who had been arrested for asking people to wear black. Five lawyers who went to the Brickfields police station to provide legal assistance to the arrested people were also arrested.
May 9: Police raided Sitiawan DAP’s dinner and confiscated the audio and video equipment as we were trying to show state assembly events from the 7th of May 2009. The police also arrested the technician on duty.
May 11: The KL High Court ruled that Dato’ Seri Nizar was the rightful and legitimate Mentri Besar.
May 19 : 12 'Death to Democracy' protesters arrested in Petaling Jaya.
Among those arrested were a MP and several state assemblymen
May 20: Dr Mah Hang Soon announced that BN is to distribute 50,000 DVDs sowing events in the Perak state assembly. Will the police arrest him?
May 21: 16 people including MPs and ADUN were arrested in Petaling Jaya for a candlelight vigil in the hope of seeing the light of democracy in Malaysia.
May 23: Police raided DAP headquarters in Petaling Jaya and took away computers and DVDs. It was the FIRST time in the DAP’s history that the police had ever raided the office. When did the DAP ever becomes a threat to security? Is DAP producing some illegal DVDs? Or pornographic movies?
May 26: Dato’ Seri Nizar launched the 72-hour ‘hunger strike’/‘fasting together’ at Wisma DAP Ipoh. 19 people were arrested by the police. Among those arrested were several ADUNs and an MP.
May 30: YB Lim Kit Siang was quizzed by the police for blaming PM Najib for the Perak crisis.
WHAT IS NEXT IN THE PIPELINES?
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN MALAYSIA!
There is no other solution but the dissolution of the Perak State Legislative Assembly

Bullied by the Police?
Today’s launching of the ‘fasting together’ among all the Pakatan Rakyat members of diverse religions at Wisma DAP Ipoh by Y.A.B. MB Dato’ Seri Ir Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin was disrupted and prevented by the police. The purpose of the fasting (and prayer) was to pray for Almighty God, the maker of heaven and earth to intervene and to give wisdom to the leaders to solve the Perak crisis as soon as possible for the good of the nation particularly the state of Perak.
There were a few hundred police personnel surrounding the vicinity of the Wisma DAP. The BN also dragged in the Ipoh City Hall Enforcement personnel to intimidate and harass the supporters at the gathering.
At around 7.30am, the police arrested five workers for assembling a canopy and putting up a giant balloon near Wisma DAP. At around 10.30am, Y.A.B. MB Nizar was prevented from greeting the people and the police personnel on duty.
Since the launch of the fast at Wisma DAP was prohibited by the police, supporters decided to adjourn to the Ipoh High Court nearby to hear the proceedings of the suit by 817 JKKK (Ketua Kampong) in Perak against unjust dismissal by the BN government. Those who started to walk there were arrested by the police.
Among those arrested were Member of Parliament for Ipoh Barat YB M Kulasegeran, DUN Speaker, YB V. Sivakumar, YB Thomas Su, YB Chang Lih Kang, YB Leong Mee Meng, and several supporters. The police also deprived the detainees of their right to legal counsel. Lawyer Mr Augustine Anthony, YB Dato’ Ngeh Koo Ham and YB Sivanesan were not allowed into the police station to meet them.
The questions everyone may ask are these:
1) Why are the police so concerned about a fast when they have much more urgent and important duties? Why are they disrupting Pakatan Rakyat’s peaceful time of fasting which breaks all barriers of races and religious? We are law-abiding citizens. We were not and are not violent. The police should have used their resources to solve problems like snatch thefts, robberies, kidnappings, murders especially the murders of Kugan and the foreign model.
2) What are the steps are the police are taking to solve the Mat Rempit problem which has cost innocent lives?
3) What are the steps taken to rid the police force of its rampant corruption?
4) Why is there a heavy police presence at by-elections as well? Is there any other motive than to intimidate voters and prevent them from coming out to vote? Again this is a waste of resources and the rakhat’s money.
The best and most logical solution to the Perak crisis is to dissolve the Perak State Legislative Assembly. Let the people of Perak choose the Menteri Besar and the government they want rather than leave the matter to the court. Let the Menteri Besar be the people’s Menteri Besar and not the court’s Menteri Besar. Pakatan Rakyat is ready to face fresh elections any time. MB Nizar was gentleman enough to request the Sultan of Perak to dissolve the DUN when he was declared the legitimate Menteri Besar by the High Courts on 11th May 2009 even though 56% of the voters in Perak had voted the Pakatan Rakyat in the general election in 2008. We want the mandate to be returned to the people of Perak. This is a democratic country so let the people decide whom they want to elect - whether a corrupted government or clean and able leaders to manage the state of Perak.

Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu or whatever faith you may profess,
let us join Y.A.B. Dato’ Seri Nizar, Menteri Besar of the people of Perak and Speaker YB V. Sivakumar in fasting and prayer tomorrow that the Power of the Almighty God be manifested and His reign come. You may join them wherever you are. They will be at Wisma DAP Ipoh at 10.00AM on Tuesday 26 May 2009 to begin their prayers.
- The prayer of the upright is pleasing to God.
- Pray for those who persecute us.
- If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land (Perak).
In happy moments, praise God.
In difficult moments, seek God.
(This is what we are doing tomorrow and have been doing for the past 3 months.)
In quiet moments, worship God .
In painful moments, trust God.
Every moment of every day, thank God.

WHAT SAY YOU IGP?
BN can do this but not Pakatan?
According to The Star yesterday, BN is distributing DVDs of the Perak state assembly sitting on the 7th. They will be distributing the edited and 'doctored' version instead of the original and truthful record of events in the state legislative assembly on the 7th of May 2009. BN should be brave enough to show the truth. Is telling the truth wrong in the the eyes of the law? On the 9th of May, DAP wanted to show a clip of actual DUN events in a school hall and this was objected to by the police. Not only that, the police harassed us, threatened to arrest the organizers and when we started to show the clip, policemen and police officers rushed into the hall to confiscate the video equipment. The police also arrested the technician who was operating the PA system when he tried to prevent the police from grabbing the DVD player.
Shame on you!

Kempen Kutip Derma Bayar Gantirugi Alat-alat Yang Dirampas Polis
Anggaran jumlah kos alat-alat yang di rampas oleh polis adalah lebih kurang RM10,000.00. Inilah kos yang akan di bayar oleh DAP Lumut Liaison Committee sebagai penganjur jamuan tersebut. Harap tuan-tuan dan puan-puan dapat menyumbang dengan murah hati ke atas kempen ini.
Orang ramai yang ingin menderma kepada tabung ini, sila masukkan sumbangan anda kedalam
Makluman terkini- Kempen di atas adalah di tangguhkan kerana polis tidak hadir di mahkamah untuk mendakwa juruteknik ditahan dan pihak polis berjanji akan kembalikan kesemua alat-alat yang dirampas mereka. Jika pihak polis tidak menunaikan janji mereka maka kami akan menlancarkan kempen tersebut di atas.

Arrested at DAP Dinner Sitiawan
Policemen 'gatecrashed' the dinner and confiscated the DVD player, 2 LCD projectors and 2 screens.
We invite all supporters and friends to come and give moral support to the innocent tehnician who was only doing his job. He is employed by the vendor who supplied the PA systems for the dinner function.
