IPOH, Perak, Feb 10 (IPS) – During a tense press conference, in the midst of the current constitutional crisis in this state, peninsular Malaysia’s second largest, a reporter’s MP3 recorder/handphone began ringing.

The embattled chief minister Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin picked up the phone and pretended to answer it. “Hello? Oh, it’s Barack Obama, thank you, thank you, thanks for your support. I appreciate that, Mr President. I think you are wonderful.”

The reporters burst out laughing.

Nizar’s relaxed demeanour belies a steely determination as he engages in a battle of wills that has pitted him against the country’s Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak and the monarch of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah.

A member of the Islamic Party, PAS, one of three parties in the Pakatan Rakyat (PR or People’s Alliance) coalition, Nizar has quickly won widespread admiration that cuts across ethnicity and religious lines for his open and non-racial approach and his fiscal discipline in managing the state’s budget.

  1. Najib and his evil party is the enemy of the people in the Silver state.

    Why?

    Because he is fully responsible for his power-crazy ego which has raped the constitution and the lawful guomen in the silver state.He has cuased a big mess and a major crisis.

    All the malays should remember this if they still love their Monarch.

    And now he is using the police to seize Harakah and Suara Keadilan from the poor newspaper vendors who are just trying to earn some meagre income for their livelihood.

    The Malays must always remember the cruelty of these **** and their sinful acts towards the poor vendors…. Have the Royal Families been told about the sufferings of these poor Rakyat?

    Looks like Najib is trying to put Bolehland at par with North Korea, Cuba and Burma.Afterall, he is the one full of scandals and he thought he could bleach himself through these immoral acts. Mission impossible, I guess.

    No foreign investors will want to come to Bolehland for sure. So if the economy and the finacial situation in Bolehland deteriorates rapidly, Najib is solely responsible.

    By the way, why (have certain BN politcians) not been charged under the Seditious Act yet?

    Anyway, the people will not forget all these …. for what they have done to Bolehland and the people.

    They will go down to the drains in the History forever.

    Many are already talking about this man as the future PM of Malaysia .
    If the soothsayer’s RAHMAN comes to pass It could be NIZAR and not Najib as the true legitimate leader of the rakyat

  8. Zambry may have won the MB seat (thanks but no thanks to the 3 judges) but has he won the support of the perakians?
    Politicians nowadays must bear in mind it is the fence sitters and silent majority that determine the outcome of and election and not the diehard grassroot supporters . And after this perak episode, need i mention which side of the fence are these fence sitters going across to?
