IPOH, Oct 21 (Bernama) -- Perak State Assembly Speaker Datuk R. Ganesan said the notice issued by Tronoh state assemblyman V. Sivakumar calling for an assembly session on Oct 28 was not in accordance with Standing Order 10 (1) of the state assembly.
He said this was because Sivakumar was no longer the Speaker and that the standing order stated "Sessions of the assembly shall be held at such times and places as decided by His Highness Paduka Seri Sultan Perak Darul Ridzuan and that will be proclaimed and gazetted".
"Sivakumar is pretending to be the Speaker by using the letterhead of the Speaker's office. I had made three police reports and hope that police will take action," he told reporters here on Wednesday.
Ganesan said the notice calling for the assembly session should be signed by the state assembly secretary and not by Sivakumar who claimed to be the Speaker.
Former menteri besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin had said Perak Opposition state assemblymen would be attending the assembly session on Oct 28 as they had received notice from Sivakumar.
Sivakumar issued the notice after Ganesan issued a notice calling an assembly session on Oct 28, only the second since Barisan Nasional (BN) took over the Perak state government in Feb.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir would be tabling the Perak state government budget for 2010.
Ganesan criticised Sivakumar for not returning the Speaker's robe despite being asked by the State Secretary's office.
He said assembly secretary Zamari Mohd Ramli had lodged a police report against Sivakumar. It was made at Sungai Senam police station yesterday.
"The office equipment was removed without permission, meaning it was stolen.
For a responsible state assemblyman, this is not proper. You are not the Speaker anymore," he adde
