Zambry has distanced himself from the Perak Information Department’s notice restricting the media coverage of the 7 May State Assembly proceedings to 13 pro-BN mainstream media organisations. Remarkably, he said the restriction was to ensure the comfort of journalists due to the limited space in the Dewan.
In a blog posting at 5.42pm, Zambry now says that “sesetengah media baru (new media) termasuk rakan-rakan blogger” would be allowed in. What does “sesetengah” mean? Who decides?
Walaupun arahan ini bukan datangnya daripada saya ataupun pejabat saya, adalah menjadi tugas saya untuk menjelaskan mengapa cadangan berkenaan dibuat oleh pegawai-pegawai kanan kerajaan negeri.
Sebab utama arahan itu dikeluarkan ialah kemampuan bilik media DUN untuk menampungi jumlah wartawan bagi memastikan keselesaan semasa membuat liputan. Ini adalah disebabkan jumlah yang akan menghadiri kali ini di luar jangkaan.
Bagaimanapun atas nama “kebebasan media” saya telah pun meminta Jabatan Penerangan untuk membenarkan semua media arus perdana termasuk akhbar-akhbar Cina dan Tamil untuk dibenarkan membuat liputan. Ini juga termasuk sesetengah media baru (new media) termasuk rakan-rakan bloggers.
This looks like face-saving backtracking by Zambry, after the Perak Speaker had indicated he would consider all media requests.
The twist and turn
Saying sorry is so difficult
Blaming others giving silly excuses
Time the Pangkor p… sails home
He has no business
Sitting on the chair
The people ignore him
Yet he sings
Like p… do
Ignoring all laws and common courtesies
Let him dig some more
On the ground where he will sink
Like the quick sand drowning quickly
Help will not come
though he can sing his best
The twist and turn
The people know it
A leader must apologise
When a wrong is done
The Pangkor p… a long way down
On the quick sand….he forgets so quickly

Assuming he is a legitmate MB, but does Zambry got anything to do with the assembly’s daily operation?

Zambry now has his own blog. In there you will see all his supporters praising him and congratulating him. Maybe he wants to allow them to cover the event.

What has the Perak Information Department got to do with the Perak State Assembly over which it has no control whatsoever. This is where power and absolute power corruptibly went into its bloated head without any due regards for the freedom of the press, rule of law and respect for the dignity of the Speaker.
It is time that PID learns its lesson. The rakyat have a right to know what is actually going on in the counry and not be be merely fed with the censored and distorted news from the BN-controlled media.
How could Zambry deny that he had no knowledge of the instruction issued to the select media channels and try cowardly to distance himself from the mess he and cronies have created.
Come on let us not play any more games. The Perakians will never respect the usurpers and grant you the necessary support. You BN rogues are already doomed. Let us not waste public funds and our valuable time.
Dissolve the State Assembly and call for a fresh election. That is what the rakyat in Perak want. And, this is the best and fairest way of resolving the constitutional crisis.

The Perak Information Dept would not dare issue such a directive without the instructions of BN. Don’t take us to be fools, Zambry.

‘Setengah’ reminds me of ‘Suku” in Negeri Sembilan. When you marry an NS, you ‘masuk suku’. ‘Setengah’ rugi, ‘suku’ lagi rugi. Disuruh masuk ‘habis’ lagi best!!
So, its’ good that ‘semua dijemput masuk’ untuk melihat apa yang berlaku dalam Dewan. I can assume that it’s going to be a ‘circus’.

let’s give everyone a fair chance be it BN or PR. Circulate a memo by a neutral party and let the perakians decide whether they want an election or otherwise. send the memo to the right powers that be and for god sakes put it online.
