Nizar's Refusal Is Treason - Ahmad Shabery

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 -- Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin's refusal to resign from his post as ordered by the Sultan of Perak Sultan Azlan Shah can be considered an act of treason, said Information Minister Dato' Ahmad Shabery Cheek.  "We have a ruler and the country is practicing the constitutional monarchy system not only at the federal level but also state level. "The sovereignty of a state rests on the rulers. As such, it is befitting and a must and the onus should be on us to obey and uphold the order of our rulers. "So, it is proper for us not to disobey (the order), otherwise it will be misconstrued as breaching (the law) or disobedient, thus committing an act of treason to the Sultan," he told reporters after opening the pre-screening of a documentary, 'Europe through the Eyes of Malaysians' here on Thursday. Association of Former Senators, MPs and Assemblymen (Mubarak) president Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang said Nizar had shown disregard for the law on sovereignty of the state by going against the Sultan's order. "To dissolve the state legislative assembly, the Sultan's consent has to be sought first as it is enshrined in the state constitution. "Failing to do so means that he (Nizar) does not understand the law and is not qualified to lead the state," he told Bernama. Malay Unity Action Front chief Osman Abu Bakar said Nizar was appointed menteri besar after the Sultan gave his consent and when the Sultan wanted him to resign, he should abide by it. "As menteri besar, he has to act in the best interests of the Malays in Perak and to safeguard their honour. "The political crisis in Perak is a test of the parliamentary democracy in the country," he said. asal: BERNAMA Tindakan Tan Sri Annuar Musa yang menabalkan sultan Kelantan yang baru pada tahun 1993 kerana Sultan Kelantan yang sedia ada, Sultan Ismail Petra tidak sehaluan dengan pemimpin Umno Kelantan."Kalau nak dikirakan menderhaka tindakan Annuar Musa ini lebih derhaka berbanding yang Nizar,  Lagi 1 kes "NATANG" kepada sultan terengganu aritu..
