Opposition Assemblymen To Attend Perak Assembly Sitting On May 7

IPOH, April 30 (Bernama) -- The opposition in Perak today decided that all its assemblymen would attend the State Legislative Assembly sitting on May 7, said former Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin.


He said the decision was final although previously there were speculations that the opposition pact would boycott the assembly sitting.

"A boycott does not arise now and we will give our full cooperation during the assembly sitting.

"I hope the sitting will follow all the procedures in accordance with the agenda and we will abide by the rulings made by the Speaker," he told reporters after chairing a meeting with opposition assemblymen, here.

Mohammad Nizar also hoped that all the officials on duty at the assembly sitting would abide by the Speaker's rulings and stressed that the opposition assemblymen would do the same.

Meanwhile, Speaker V. Sivakumar when asked on the bid to remove him from the post, said he was aware of the proposed motion but had not decided on what action to take.

He said before the May 7 state assembly sitting, he would raise a number of issues in his discussions with the police, the State Secretary and those involved in the sitting.
