Opposition to Attend Perak Assembly Sitting	\| Print \|

Ipoh, Thu -- The opposition coalition in Perak will now attend
the state assembly sitting scheduled for Oct 28, after having announced a
boycott on the grounds that the notice issued by Speaker Datuk R. Ganesan was
invalid.

Their spokesman, Datuk Seri Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin, told reporters the
decision to attend the sitting was made after they received a notice from former
speaker V. Sivakumar yesterday informing them that the sitting would be held on
the same day at the same time and place.

He said the opposition still regarded Sivakumar as the Speaker of the Perak
State Assembly and would adhere to the notice issued by him, and asked Ganesan
to withdraw his (Ganesan's) notice, claiming it was invalid.

When asked if there would be a tussle for the speaker's chair at the
sitting, Mohamad Nizar said everyone should "wait and see" because he himself
could not foretell what would happen.

On other developments, Mohamad Nizar said the Perak PAS leadership would not
attend the launch of the 1Malaysia concept at the Perak Stadium on Sunday
because PAS' Aidilfitri celebration in Batu Gajah had been planned earlier for
the same time on the same day and could not be postponed. - Bernama
