IPOH, Feb 15 (Bernama) -- Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir has described as strange the summons by State Legislative Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar on him and six executive councillors to appear before the assembly's Rights and Privileges Committee on Wednesday.
Normally, the committee would only act on people's representatives who did something wrong during the assembly sitting, he said today.
Nevertheless, he said, he would seek legal advice whether he had to appear before the committee.
Yesterday, Sivakumar said seven Barisan Nasional (BN) assemblyman -- Zambry (Pangkor), Hamidah Osman (Sungai Rapat), Datuk Ramly Zahari (Manong), Dr Mah Hang Soon (Chenderiang), Datuk Saarani Mohamad (Kota Tampan), Mohd Zahir Abdul Khalid (Kamunting) and Zainol Fadzi Paharudin (Sungai Manik) -- would be referred to the committee for contempt of the assembly following a complaint by Canning assemblyman Wong Kah Woh.
Sivakumar declined to reveal the contents of Wong's complaint but it was believed that it had something to do with Zambry's appointment as Menteri Besar by Sultan Azlan Shah and the swearing-in of the six executive councillors following the recent collapse of the Pakatan Rakyat government.
