Who says our judiciary isn't independent? It's just that the Courts work like pendulum often times.
Today, Barisan Nasional's Zambry Abd Kadir has been ruled by the Court of Appeal as the rightful menteri besar of Perak.
The judges also ruled that the Sultan was right in appointing Zambry the MB and that there was no need for a vote of no confidence in the House against Nizar.
With that, the May 11 Kuala Lumpur High Court decision that declared Pakatan Rakyat leader Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as the rightful menteri besar of Perak has been reversed, and overturned.
The 3-member bench comprised Justices Md Raus Sharif, Zainun Ali and Ahmad Maarop.
Lead judge Md Raus said it was a unanimous decision by the 3-member panel of judges.
When asked if shocked with judgment, Nizar's lead counsel Sulaiman Abdullah said: "We have extraordinary judges with extraordinary ability."
Read the backgrounder in Screenshots yesterday. Wasn't Shad Saleem Faruqi sounding prescient of the whole thing, quote:
There are no winner-take-all solutions to the Perak political crisis, a hydra-headed monster that cannot be eliminated by ding-dong judicial decisions.
Federal Court is the next course of legal process for MB vs. MB, while Speaker vs. Speaker will take place next.
Ultimately, the Court of People may soon take over.
