KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 — PAS vice-president Datuk Husam Musa will meet Umno veteran Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah today to discuss the possibility of forming a political front to push for dissolution of the Perak assembly.
Husam said today he will also meet other parties that have expressed support for a state elections in Perak to end the crisis which started when Barisan Nasional (BN) took over the state in February after three Pakatan Rakyat lawmakers defected.
“We will set up a front specifically for this purpose,” said Husam, adding that he would also meet the Malaysian Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) and MCA deputy president Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek who are in favour of state elections.
Husam hoped that the meetings would pressure other BN leaders into agreeing to the dissolution of the Perak assembly.
He explained that the party’s central leadership had agreed to such meetings in order to resolve the Perak crisis.
Husam also said that the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had misunderstood the real issue behind the Perak political crisis.
“The Sultan of Perak is not to be blamed by the public. It is Umno and specifically Datuk Seri Najib that must be blamed for suggesting the appointment of Zambry Abdul Kadir as the mentri besar when the rightful mentri besar has not lost his position,” said Husam.
“Zambry is also guilty for agreeing to be sworn in when the mentri besar post is not vacant,” he added.
Husam said that the BN should have tabled a motion of no confidence against Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin in the assembly in order to take over the government.
