IPOH, May 1 — Barisan Nasional (BN) has nominated former Sungkai assemblyman Datuk R. Ganesan from the MIC as the new Perak State Assembly Speaker, said Speaker V. Sivakumar.
Writing in his blog speakforperak.blogspot.com, Sivakumar said the motion was handed to the Perak State Assembly secretary's office yesterday morning.
The motion dated April 29 was proposed by Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir and seconded by state executive councillor Datuk Hamidah Osman.
"An acceptance letter from Datuk R. Ganesan on the appointment was attached to the motion," he said.
At a news conference yesterday, Sivakumar said he had received a motion to remove him as speaker but had yet to make any decision.
Zambry is expected to move a motion, to be seconded by Hamidah, for Sivakumar's removal on the first day of the next state assembly sitting on May 7.
Perak State Assembly secretary Abdullah Antong Sabri, in his letter to all 59 members of the House on Monday, said if the motion was passed, a new speaker would be chosen.
The assemblymen were invited to submit nomination forms for the new speaker together with the agreement form of the selected candidate to the state assembly office by yesterday at the latest. — Bernama
