Zambry and his exco suspended - now what?

Is it a stalemate now? Or checkmate…

Perak state assembly speaker V Sivakumar has reportedly suspended Zamby (18 months) and his six exco members (12 months) from the state assembly.

How can the state government function if the exco is barred from attending state assembly proceedings?

The suspensions came after an inquiry before the Special Privileges Committee, mainly comprising Pakatan assembly members, looked into complaints that the appointments of the new exco were unconstitutional.

It looks like a worrying stalemate, which won’t be resolved until fresh elections are held.

It’s time to go back to the people to resolve this once and for all.
