Saya baca dalam NST dan Utusan laporan mengenai Sidang Tergempar DUN Perak yang hendak diadakan pada 3hb Mac 2009. Dari laporan Utusan Malaysia dilaporkan bahawa Sidang itu dipanggil kerana Speaker ada terima dua usul. " Usul pertama dikemukakan oleh ADUN Titi Serong, Khalil Idham Lim Abdullah dari Pas yang mahu dewan menyatakan sokongan kepada Datuk Seri Ir. Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin sebagai Menteri Besar. Usul kedua pula daripada ADUN Teja, Chang Lih Kang daripada Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) yang mahu DUN dibubarkan supaya pilihan raya negeri dapat diadakan. " Manakala NST pula melaporkan " Counsel Chan Kok Keong, an adviser to Sivakumar, said the last assembly was neither prolonged nor dissolved, thus allowing the speaker to call for the meeting to be reconvened to continue with the business of the last sitting. " The Star pula melaporkan " To a question, he said convening such a sitting did not require the consent of the Sultan of Perak. His lawyer Chan ...

Update at 2.24pm. I think this fella is really celaka Don't he know the law or not? Christians cannot propagate their religion to Muslim in Pahang and in Malaysia by LAW. May I ask this celaka to read the Federal Constitution Article 11. So, if you want to use Allah in your Bible, just state there its for Christian Only! If you feel that your god is also Allah, why don't you write Allah too in your English Bible? I don't think the god to Christians in Philippines, Thailand or even Singapore is Allah! BUT for Muslim all over the world, be it in China, Japan, Lithuania, Arab Countries, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and IN FACT all over the WORLD, when Muslims pray, their god is ALLAH! Aiya...this fella is really celaka ! _____________________________ Sebagaimana dilaporkan oleh akhbar media dan juga blog , perkataan Allah sudah boleh digunakan oleh Kristian dalam penerbitan mereka. Ini adalah berikutan kelulusan yang diberikan oleh Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN). Saya h...

Tindakan Sivakumar menggantung MB & Exco Perak dari menghadiri DUN adalah salah sama sekali. Salah dari awal...tak perlulah cari QC dari London untuk buat pandangan undang-undang.  Saya ingin tegaskan bahawa tugas Speaker adalah sama seperti seorang hakim di mahkamah. Mesti tidak bias, fair dan tidak berpihak (impartial). Namun yang paling penting difahami adalah sama seperti Hakim, Speaker hanya boleh bertindak apabila ada SIDANG. Di Mahkamah, Hakim membuat segala tugas semasa ada SIDANG atau "when the Court is in session" atau "when the Court is sitting". Ini bermakna, dalam menjalankan tugasnya Hakim perlu ada "court sitting". Contohnya, apabila Hakim hendak umumkan keputusan kes, Hakim mesti panggil sidang mahkamah. Hakim tidak boleh buat keputusan atau bacakan keputusan kes dihadapan akhbar atau media sahaja. Sidang mahkamah itu pula mesti dihadiri oleh semua pihak yang terlibat dalam kes itu. Kalau ada pihak yang tidak dapat hadir mahkamah boleh ...

Read here . The position in the British Parliament should be no different from what we practice in Malaysia. "Committee for Privileges   The Committee is chaired by the Chairman of Committees  and is made up of fifteen peers, including four Lords of Appeal." The Committee hears complaints of prima facie breach of privilege, takes evidence, and reports its recommendations to the Lords, where they are debated before the House decides whether or not to accept them. " What Sivakumar did was legally wrong by not referring the Committee's recommendation back to the State Assembly to be debated and thereafter a vote to be taken. The provisions of the Standing Orders can be read in my earlier posting here

Under The Standing Orders of the State Legislative Assembly of Pahang 1965, the Committee of Privileges is formed and formulated according to S/O 70 which read as follows:- 70. (1) There shall be a Committee to be known as the Committee of Privileges to consist of Mr Speaker as Chairman and six (6) members to be appointed by the Assembly as soon as may be after the beginning of each session. There shall be referred to this Committee any matter which appears to affect the powers and privileges of the Assembly . It shall be the duty of the Committee to consider any such matters to them referred, and to report on them to the Assembly. (2) Whenever the Assembly is not sitting a member may bring an alleged breach of privilege to the notice of Mr Speaker who may, if he is satisfied that a prima facie breach of privilege has been committed, refer such matter to the Committee, which shall report thereon to the Assembly. (3) The Committee shall heve the power to send for pers...

I was asked by a Sopranos in the comment section of my earlier posting about the position of the Perak State Legislative Assembly Speaker now that the Government have changed hand. Is he still the Speaker or otherwise. Similarly is the Deputy Speaker, now that she has left DAP. This is a very interesting point. It have to be made clear that Speakers need not be an ADUN of the State Legislative Assembly or an MP in the case of Parliament. Nevertheless, Deputy Speakers (Parliament allows for 2) must be members of the Assembly or Parliament as the case maybe. If the Speaker is not a member, he shall be virtue of his post be part of the Assembly and shall also be called a YB and will enjoy all the perks as provided for by the Government including the Perdana Executive in the case of Pahang and naturally the Camry as in the case of Perak and Selangor. Pahang have decided not to have a Deputy Speaker yet for this term. Last term Pahang had one and enjoyed the perks provided for including a P...

Dato ' Dr. Zambri , the new MB for Perak had announced the appointment of 4 Penasihat MB with the status & remuneration equivalent to an Exco member. Legally can it be done? I am looking at it in the lights of the Laws of the Constitution of the State of Pahang or in Bahasa Melayu Undang - undang Tubuh Kerajaan Negeri Pahang (hereinafter referred to as the State Constitution) Under the State Constitution, the appointment of the Exco members shall be made by the the Ruler on the advice of the Menteri Besar and it shall not be more than 10 and not less than 4. Exco members must be from among the members of the Legislative Assembly. In short, to form a government, the Ruler must :- Appoint a Menteri Besar Appoint Exco members from among the ADUNs Collectively the MB & the Excos is known as the Executive Council. Nevertheless, "the Executive authority of the State shall be vested in the Ruler but Executive functions may by law be conferred on other person...
